Description Not Available
Many coastal communities rely on living
marine resources for livelihoods and food security.
These resources are commonly under stress from
overfishing, pollution, coastal development and
habitat degradation. Climate change is an additional
stressor beginning to impact coastal systems and
communities, but may also lead to opportunities for
some species and the people they sustain. We describe the research approach for a multi-country project,
focused on the southern hemisphere, designed to
contribute to improving fishing community adaptation
efforts by characterizing, assessing and predicting the
future of coastal-marine food resources, and codeveloping
adaptation options through the provision
and sharing of knowledge across fast-warming marine
regions (i.e. marine ‘hotspots’). These hotspots represent
natural laboratories for observing change and
concomitant human adaptive responses, and for
developing adaptation options and management
strategies. Focusing on adaptation options and strategies
for enhancing coastal resilience at the local level
will contribute to capacity building and local empowerment
in order to minimise negative outcomes and
take advantage of opportunities arising from climate
change. However, developing comparative
approaches across regions that differ in political
institutions, socio-economic community demographics,
resource dependency and research capacity is
challenging. Here, we describe physical, biological,
social and governance tools to allow hotspot comparisons,
and several methods to evaluate and enhance
interactions within a multi-nation research team.
Strong partnerships within and between the focal
regions are critical to scientific and political support
for development of effective approaches to reduce
future vulnerability. Comparing these hotspot regions
will enhance local adaptation responses and generate
outcomes applicable to other regions.
