| Full Project Title: | Global learning for local solutions: Reducing vulnerability of marine-dependent coastal communities |
| Full Call Title: | Coastal2012 |
| Website: | http://www.marinehotspots.org/index.php/featured-projects/gulls |
Why?
| Project Objective: | This project will contribute to improving community adaptation efforts by characterizing, assessing and predicting the future of coastal-marine food resources through the provision and sharing of knowledge across regional 'hotspots,' defined here as fast-warming marine areas and areas experiencing social tensions as a result of change. |
| Call Objective: | The purpose of this call was to promote the development, comparison and transfer of coastal scientific approaches. The focus was on the vulnerability, resilience and adaptation options of coastal societal, managed and natural systems to multiple drivers. |
Where?
