Resilient Lands and Waters Initiative
In 2014, Federal agencies, working together with states, tribes, and other partners, and working under the guidance of the Obama Administration’s Priority Agenda for Enhancing the Climate Resilience of America’s Natural Resources, designated seven Resilient Lands and Waters Partnerships across the country during the spring and summer of 2015. Partners identified the following seven Resilient Lands and Waters Partnerships across the country: California Headwaters, California’s North-Central Coast and Russian River Watershed, Crown of the Continent (northern Rocky Mountains), Great Lakes Coastal Wetlands (Lakes Huron & Erie), Hawaii (West Hawai’i, West Maui, and He’eia (O’ahu)), Puget Sound’s Snohomish River Watershed, and Southwest Florida.
