Mid-Atlantic Regional Assessment (MARA) aims to
analyze and evaluate the potential consequences
of climate variability and change for the Mid-Atlantic
region's people and resources, in the context of
other existing and anticipated pressures. Funded
by the United States Environmental Protection Agency,
MARA is one of 19 regional assessments being conducted
nationwide as part of the U.S. National Assessment,
