NOAA’s Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management (OCRM) has launched a new section of its website focusing on climate change. This can be used as one source of information for sustainable development professionals about the effects of climate change on coastal habitats and communities. The site also includes discussion of such climate change impacts as sea level rise, ocean acidification, and changing species distribution. The site also has valuable links to other climate information sites.

Go to Sea Levels Online for an interactive site showing regional trends in sea level, including direction and magnitude of change for specific locations.
