The three Redwoods marine resource-types were identified as being variously associated with three of the five general vital signs categories: (1) climate change; (2) presence and extent of native/introduced (invasive) aquatic biota; and (3) land and non-recreational human use impacts (Table 23). The land and non-recreational human use impacts category was divided into nine types of impact subcategories. Climate change was identified as only associated with the intertidal/coastal offshore resource-type, whereas the presence and extent of native/introduced (invasive) aquatic biota was an important vital sign for lagoons and estuaries. Each resource-type was identified as being susceptible to two or more types of land and non-recreational human use impacts.
