Description Climate change is a major challenge facing governments, industries and
communities and requires an inter-disciplinary approach to understand impacts and
adaptation options across both the biological and human systems. Marine resources
in both southern India and south-eastern Australia provide substantial social and
economic benefits which flow into many rural communities. Both regions have been
identified as global warming hotspots with the rate of climate warming predicted to
be greater than 90 per cent of the global average. These areas are already being
affected by climate change and are expected to provide case studies for developing
adaptation responses across substantially different cultures. This project, based on
two workshops, brought together inter-disciplinary researchers from both India and
Australia with expertise in physical, biological, social, economic and governance
climate change research and developed a strategic research plan for future
collaborative research. The workshops identifiedthat the key physical drivers (e.g.
temperature, currents) are predicted to affect species abundance and distributions,
develop biological, social and economic indices that can be used to monitor impacts
on species, industries and rural communities and investigate options for policy and
management of marine resources.By developing a strategic and operational plan, the
project focused on developing a collaborative research opportunities that can assist
Governments, Industries and Communities prepare and adapt to changes in their
marine resources. Society, economic and governance differences between India and
Australia provided an exciting opportunity to determine generic and specific issues
and to adapt concepts and methods across broad biological and socio-economic
backgrounds
