The training had five objectives: (1) review coastal climate impacts and how to build resiliency, in part through Marine Protected Areas (MPAs); (2) understand how communities themselves can be a source of adaptation information and how to obtain that knowledge; (3) understand how to assess the vulnerability of resources in MPAs, including exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity; (4) explore scenario planning; and (5) understand how best to select adaptation strategies.
