Restoring Aquatic Connectivity and Increasing Flood Resilience: This project brings together the major partners involved in road-stream crossings to assess river and stream continuity and set priorities for restoring connectivity, and reducing flood damage to road crossings, within the North Atlantic region.

Revisions to the Northeastern Aquatic Habitat Classification: This project updated the 2008 Northeastern Aquatic Habitat Classification (NAHCS) prepared by The Nature Conservancy and the Northeast Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (NEAFWA). The updates added a tidal component to the classification of streams and rivers and a mapped classification of lakes; the lake classification was revised in 2015.

Vulnerabilities to Climate Change of Northeast Fish and Wildlife Habitats, Phase II: This project completed three assessments of the vulnerability of terrestrial, aquatic, and coastal habitats (ecosystems) to climate change, including sea level rise. One assessment evaluated 13 terrestrial and wetland habitat types, the second evaluated cold water stream habitats, and the third evaluated coastal habitats. A database of coastal climate change projects and tools was also developed.

Assessing Ecological Integrity of Salt Marshes in the Northeast: Designing Sustainable Landscapes (DSL) assesses the capability of current and potential future landscapes to provide integral ecosystems and suitable habitat for a suite of representative species, and provides guidance for strategic habitat conservation.

Healing from the Inside Out: Perspectives from the first Indigenous woman to ever serve as a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Native American liaison
