1 Envision Scenario modeling and analysis tool for capturing and integrating multiple drivers of landscape change Policy-centric: Directly captures policy alternatives related to land management Spatially explicit, integrating multiple landscape features influencing landscape change Can report multiple landscape performance metrics; visualization of results

2 A few prior applications Water Futures in the Willamette Basin consider population growth and climate change Agricultural Systems Management under changing climate in Eastern Canada Growth/Fire/Habitat Management under changing climate in the southern Willamette Valley Forests-People-Fire: forest management, fire, and the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) under changing climate in Central Oregon Puget Sound futures - Nearshore management, growth and development in the Puget Sound, WA Skagit 2060 Planning for change in Skagit County, WA

3 ENVISION Tillamook County Coastal Hazards Project Envision Skagit 2060 Data Sources Landscape Data Land Use/Land Cover Zoning Habitat Many more Policy Set(s) Working with County Staff, Tech Committees to define Landscape Change Models Population Growth Based on OFM Estimates for County Development Evaluative Models/Metrics Habitat Stream IBI Water Quality/Loading Hydrologic Vulnerabilty Impervious Surfaces Vehicle Miles Traveled/ Employment Residential Land Supply Timber Extraction Resource Lands Protection

4 Scenarios Skagit County, WA Plan Trend current plans are captured as closely as possible and played forward Ecosystem emphasizes compact development patterns, protection of ecological resources through a variety of mechanisms Ag/Forestry emphasizes protection of resource lands for continued production Development emphasizes dispersed development through creation of rural villages Preferred a composite of the best of each of the above scenarios, determined after intensive stakeholder review

15 Tillamook County?

16 Group Exercise II Take a somewhat deeper dive into: Issues related to coastal hazards facing your communities (e.g. flooding of coastal communities) Identifying endpoints that can be used to identify preferable outcomes (e.g. value of inundated structures ) Identifying strategies that should be considered for achieving those outcomes (e.g. restrict additional development in flood-prone areas)

17 Issue I: Erosion Coastal armouring (rip rap/seawall) Beach nourishment (natural littoral cell changes/ sediment transport) Natural adaptation Issue II: Flooding Infrastructure/roads/bridges Water and sewage Ecology Issue III: Economic Vitality Tourism New development Issue IV: Planning Measures to limit co2 Storm shelters Land use
