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.
