rel="noreferrer">cross-post from NOAA Fisheries</a></em></p> <p>We are excited to kick off <strong>Habitat Month </strong>at NOAA Fisheries. All month long, we will share our incredible habitat conservation efforts through our website and social media. The theme this year is "Healthy Habitat, Resilient Infrastructure”! Learn more about the role of healthy habitat in building coastal resilience. We’ll also talk about how restoring habitat for our nation’s fisheries and protected resources also strengthens the resilience of coastal communities and ecosystems.</p> <p>Efforts like restoring coastal wetlands and removing outdated dams can improve coastal resilience. They help communities recover from and adapt to the impacts of extreme weather and climate change. All month long, we will highlight a variety of different habitat conservation projects and products. Follow us here and on Twitter (<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231202080323/https://twitter.com/NOAAHabitat" rel="noreferrer">@NOAAHabitat</a>, #HabitatMonth).
