The Marine Adaptation Network endeavors to provide current publications referencing climate change adaptation in the marine environment for researchers, government bodies, policy makers, marine stakeholders and students.
Head to Resources for peer-reviewed articles, information sheets, reports, research, toolkits and more. You will also be able to find publications in relation to your region and sector.

Tourism and Marine Climate Change is this recent Marine Adaptation Bulletin’s focus.

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.

This web-based toolkit provides decision-makers and researchers and interested members of the public with an overview of the ways in which economic (market-based) instruments and policy can be used in the marine environment to incentivise private sector adaptation to climate change.  The toolkit outlines a number of potential adaptation options in marine environment under the following four broad categories: (1) fisheries management, (2) conservation management, (3) institutional arrangement, and (4) adaptation research.
