Enablement of community or organisational adaptation to marine climate impacts. Includes: 1) Coastal adaptation community planning whereby community planning accounts for actual or expected climate and its effects, to moderate harm or exploit beneficial opportunities; 2) Climate resilient marine protected area management via plans that incorporate spatial control of non-climate stressors and dynamics on land and in the sea to minimize climate vulnerability and increase climate resilience; 3) Climate adaptive fisheries management which introduces flexibility through property rights, licensing and lease conditions to enable managers to respond rapidly to projected changes in the dynamics of marine resources and ecosystems; 4) Climate adaptive aquaculture management which introduces flexibility through property rights, licensing and lease conditions to enable managers to respond rapidly to projected changes in the dynamics of marine areas, species and production models; 5) Marine energy transition assistance to support carbon-dependent communities as they transition to a carbon-independence, such as transition planning for offshore oil and gas workers; 6) Anticipatory marine climate science for marine decision support & adaptive management; 7) Marine disaster response programs whereby policies, initiatives and services are in place to support communities during extreme climate events; 8) Marine climate justice organisations where transdisciplinary teams are mobilised to support rights holders in navigating or resisting marine climate colonialism; and 9) Marine climate rights recognition whereby ocean climate mitigation and adaptation schemes explicitly recognise, define and secure individual and common sovereignty, property and data rights

These types of interventions pose a range of risks and challenges. Resources exist to help identify and address these.
