Introduction 

The Canadian Wildlife Service and the Adaptation and Impacts Research Division of Environment Canada secured funding in 2003 for a two-year project on Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Communities.

In partnership with Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the University of Waterloo, the project examined the vulnerability of coastal wetland plant, bird and fish communities to climate variability and change, and explored adaptation strategies to maintain ecosystem function and values.
