Oral Presentation Session #2: Public Perceptions

Panel Discussion:

Strategies for Marine & Coastal Adaptation.

The current and anticipated impacts of climate change are expected to have far-reaching impacts on marine ecosystems and the well-being of coastal communities that derive cultural and livelihood values from the ocean. Responding to changing coasts requires collaboration and knowledge that spans across disciplines, sectors, and ways of knowing. Our panel: Dr. Natalie Ban, Dorene Bernard, Bill Collins, and Jesslene Jawanda (Moderated by: Eli Menezes) discuss factors to promote adaptation and resilience in the face of widespread oceanic changes.
