This document summarizes Delaware's efforts to adapt its coastal impoundments to climate change through structured decision making. It describes the history and functions of coastal impoundments, the urgency to adapt due to breaches from storms. Delaware developed a prototype decision model to evaluate management objectives and actions under sea level rise scenarios. The model identified coordinated water level management and other actions. Pilot habitat projects were selected, including better data collection, buffer construction, and strategic retreat of impoundments most at risk from sea level rise. Funding was provided by various organizations to support Delaware's coastal impoundment adaptation efforts.

Harnessing nature to protect our communities.
"Natural Defenses in Action" highlights the important role that natural and nature-based approaches can play in reducing the mounting risks to our communities from weather and climate-related natural hazards. The report highlights how properly managed ecosystems and well-designed policies can help reduce disaster risk in ways that are good for both people and nature. "Natural Defenses in Action" profiles a dozen case studies that highlight best-in-class examples of how natural defenses are being put to use to avoid or reduce risks from flooding, coastal storms, erosion, and wildfire. It illustrates that harnessing nature to protect people and property is not just a good idea—it already is being done across the country!
A new report from the National Wildlife Federation looks at how 20 species that depend on a healthy Gulf are faring in the wake of the BP oil spill. The full extent of the spill’s impacts may take years or even decades to unfold, but Five Years & Counting: Gulf Wildlife in the Aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon Disaster examines what the science tells us so far.
Climate change already is having significant impacts on the nation’s species and ecosystems, and these effects are projected to increase considerably over time. As a result, climate change is now a primary lens through which conservation and natural resource management must be viewed. How should we prepare for and respond to the impacts of climate change on wildlife and their habitats? What should we be doing differently in light of these climatic shifts, and what actions continue to make sense? Climate-Smart Conservation: Putting Adaptation Principles into Practice offers guidance for designing and carrying out conservation in the face of a rapidly changing climate.
Addressing the growing threats brought about or accentuated by rapid climate change requires a fundamental shift in the practice of natural resource management and conservation. Traditionally, conservationists have focused their efforts on protecting and managing systems to maintain their current state, or to restore degraded systems back to a historical state regarded as more desirable. Conservation planners and practitioners will need to adopt forward-looking goals and implement strategies specifically designed to prepare for and adjust to current and future climatic changes, and the associated impacts on natural systems and human communities—an emerging discipline known as climate change adaptation.
The field of climate change adaptation is still in its infancy. Although there is increasing attention focused on the subject, much of the guidance developed to date has been general in nature, concentrating on high-level principles rather than specific actions. It is against this backdrop that this guide was prepared as a means for helping put adaptation principles into practice, and for moving adaptation from planning to action.
MAKING CONSERVATION CLIMATE SMART
The fate of our wildlife and wild places depends on steps we take now to prepare for and cope with the growing impacts of a changing climate. While managers traditionally have looked to the past for inspiration, increasingly we will be faced with future conditions that may have no historical analogs.
Although climate adaptation will have costs, the cost of inaction—through continuing with business as usual—is likely to be far higher. Furthermore, the sooner we begin the task of planning for a climate-altered future and taking meaningful adaptation action, the more successful these efforts ultimately will be. It is imperative that natural resource managers begin to act now to prepare for and manage these changes, in order to provide the best chance for cherished conservation values to endure. Putting climate-smart conservation into practice can make a difference for sustaining our nation’s diverse species and ecosystems well into the future. Indeed, protecting our rich conservation legacy depends on our rising to this challenge.
This National Wildlife Federation report details how 14 Gulf wildlife species are faring in the wake of BP's 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil disaster in the Gulf. Since the tragedy, NWF has closely monitored the harm done to wildlife and important habitats in the Gulf and along the coast. Though the full impacts of the oil spill remain unknown, this summarizes what we know so far, and what restoration still needs to be done. http://www.nwf.org/fouryearslater

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

CHANGE ADAPTATION…
OH MY!
Delaware’s Efforts to get over the Fear and Make Decisions to
Implement/Adapt to Climate Change for its Coastal Impoundments
7. Coastal Impoundments in DE:
• State maintains 14 coastal
impoundments comprising
2,400 acres on several state
wildlife areas along the central
to southern Delaware Bay
coast, and a few along the
Atlantic Coast.
• USFWS maintains 1,100 acres
at Bombay Hook NWR and
4,200 acres at Prime Hook
NWR, both along Delaware
Bay coast.

11. STATE IMPOUNDMENTS ARE NOT IMMUNE!
Breach of State Impoundment Dikes after
Hurricane Irene (2011)
12. Step 1: Initiation of a State Impoundment
Management Plan/Philosophy
• Collective wisdom of administrator, program and land
managers, and staff scientists to support continued
management and preservation of state impoundments.
• Goal is to Avoided Administrative Neglect, i.e., “I will be
retired before it’s an issue” and make adaptation an
immediate priority among other current funding needs.
• Begin the development of a systematic approach for
evaluating the current status of impoundments,
identifying objectives and developing an adaptive strategy
to enhance resilience in face of climate change.
13. • Maximize Breeding Marsh
Birds
• Maximize Roosting Red
Knots and Spring
Migrating Shorebirds
• Maximize Breeding
Shorebirds (e.g., Black-
necked Stilt)
• Maximize Migrating and
Wintering Waterfowl
• Maximize Fall Migrating
Shorebirds
• Maximize Breeding
Waterfowl
• Maximize Juvenile Fish
Populations
• Maintain Furbearer
populations at a desired level
(e.g., Muskrat)
• Minimize Mosquito Production
• Maximize Recreational Use
• Minimize Cost
Multiple OBJECTIVES:
14. Now what??? It’s complicated….
• We can’t manage for everything,
everywhere…not physically possible given
biological needs of target wildlife.
• We’ll never have all the data we think we need.
• Cost constraints and uncertainty are a reality.
• Tradeoffs among competing objectives must
be made.
• We want to find the best combination of
management actions to achieve multiple
affordable objectives in the face of climate
change uncertainty.
15. • Developed a prototype decision model for 4 impoundments
looking 30 years out (estimated impoundment life span).
• Small team of experts identified key management
objectives and predicted outcomes (e.g., duck-use days,
roosting red knots, mosquito and fish counts) of different
actions under different SLR scenarios (5 and 10 mm/year).
• SDM is an explicit, organized way to deal with multiple,
competing objectives and uncertainty.
Step 2: Approach - Structured Decision Making
• Flexible
• Transparent
• Adaptive
• Incorporates cost constraints
• Provides a suite of actions that
maximizes benefit
16. GOAL: If we are spending the time and
money on these impoundments we need to
maximize their functions in an explicit,
organized way that deals with multiple,
competing management objectives and cost
constraints under the uncertainty of SLR.
Coordinated water-level management (% of full pool)
across a suite of impoundments to provide for:
Vegetation growth (waterfowl)

24. Step 3: Pilot Habitat Projects
• Select “no regret” restoration projects anticipated
to have success to restore wetland habitat and
enhance impoundment resiliency to climate
change.
• These project fall in three categories:
Better Management Practices
Resiliency in the Form of Structure Integrity (improvements
or buffers).
Strategic Retreat.
25. Better Management Practices
• Better Data Collection: Vegetation
Transects, Integrated Waterbird Management and
Monitoring (“IWMM”), Hydrology and Hydraulic
studies.
• Are we achieving what we want – qualitatively and
quantitatively?
• Provides baseline for monitoring of pilot
projects, SLR scenarios and evaluating management
practices.
26. Buffer Construction
Restore old levee
Create tidal marsh
within 106-acre
containment
cell, eventually with
tidal exchange via
channel creation.
Reinforce existing dikes
27. Strategic Retreat
• Wildlife Conservation Society-
funded project working with
The National Wildlife
Federation.
• Inland retreat of a 389-acre
impoundment where we
have lost some of our
management capabilities to
maximize functions and
values.
• Creates an 86-acre
impoundment complex from
an existing pond and two
agricultural fields augmented
with freshwater to maximizes
functions and values and
replace larger impoundment.
