The Maine Climate Council has also developed a Climate Science Dashboard to let users interactively explore historical and projected future scenarios in three climate change indicators, land temperatures, ocean surface temperatures, and sea level rise.

Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry has released several Municipal Climate Adaptation Guidance documents to aid municipalities in taking practical steps to help make their communities more resilient in the face of rising sea-levels and more frequent intense storm events.
