The National Climate Change Adaptation Research Plan (NARP) for Marine Biodiversity and Resources identifies research priorities in five sectoral areas: marine aquaculture, commercial and recreational fishing, conservation management, tourism and recreational uses, and cross cutting issues. The NARP, developed by NCCARF, is supporting 14 adaptation research projects currently underway which are responding to these priorities.  These projects are funded through partnership between the DCCEEand the FRDC with the Network involved in the dissemination of project updates through the Marine Adaptation Bulletin, Information Sheets and Flyers.

The Marine Adaptation Network continues to publish topical Information Sheets written by marine researchers, currently working in the field of adaptation to climate change. The Information Sheets are specific to regions in Australia and are aimed at government bodies, NGO’s, and marine stakeholders including commercial and recreational fisheries, aquaculture, conservation, and tourism.

In addition to our Information Sheet series we have an Oyster Information Sheet produced from the report entitled Climate Change Adaptation in the Australian Edible Oyster Industry: an analysis of policy and practice and flyers from the Adaptation Research Projects as part of the National Adaptation Research Plan (NARP).
