There is little direct effect of climate changes on development, but increases in frequency and intensity of rainstorms may increase effects of development and agriculture. A variety of climate change impacts including flooding, salt marsh migration, salinity changes, large storm events, sea level rise, could affect quality, area, and location of wetlands & upland habitats intended for preservation The urgency comes primarily from the threat of development.
