In early 2025, the National Climate Adaptation Science Center published a Deep Dive exploring some of the projects across the CASC network that support the outdoor recreation economy, including funding, fishing, wildlife watching, and other activities. A MW CASC project investigating how climate change has impacted the winter ranges of several duck species is highlighted in the publication.
“The Climate Adaptation Science Centers support federal, state, and Tribal fish and wildlife managers as they work to protect the cultural and biological heritage of our cherished lands. Our science is identifying how changing climate conditions are affecting fish and wildlife populations and their habitats, so that managers can determine the best path forward for conserving these valued resources to benefit current and future generations of Americans.”
