- Abstract
- While governments and natural resource managers grapple with how to respond to climatic changes, many marine-dependent individuals, organisations and user-groups in fast-changing regions of the world are already adjusting their behaviour to accommodate these. However, we have little information on the nature of these autonomous adaptations that are being initiated by resource user-groups. The east coast of Tasmania, Australia, is one of the world’s fastest warming marine regions with extensive climate-driven changes in biodiversity already observed. We present and compare examples of autonomous adaptations from marine users of the region to provide insights into factors that may have constrained or facilitated the available range of autonomous adaptation options and discuss potential interactions with governmental planned adaptations. We aim to support effective adaptation by identifying the suite of changes that marine users are making largely without government or management intervention, i.e. autonomous adaptations, to better understand these and their potential interactions with formal adaptation strategies. © 2019, Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

- We are grateful to the resource managers, researchers and fishing industry representatives from the project “Preparing fisheries for climate change: identifying adaptation options for four key fisheries in South Eastern Australia”, FRDC Project No 2011/039 that attended the March 2012 workshop and provided the observations in Table S2. GP was supported by an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship. Animate Your Science produced Fig. 1 , under our guidance.
