“The next generation of marine climate change adaptation researchers will be key to the effective development of innovative and effective ways to respond to and and/or anticipate the range of likely climate change trajectories, given international policy decisions and frameworks, and/or public and industry responses to future changes in carbon emissions.” - Convenor, Assoc Prof Neil Holbrook

The Marine Adaptation Network has awarded research support grants to honours and masters students studying in 2010, 2011 and 2012.  The grant scheme provides funding for honours and masters students to cover research costs of selected eligible projects focused on climate change adaptation in Marine Biodiversity and Resources.

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.
