摘要

To sustain and adapt long-term monitoring programs to ongoing ecosystem transformation, strategic evaluation and planning is needed to identify and operationalize actions in support of climate resilience. This study evaluated eight marine resource monitoring programs within a U.S. state agency (Maine Department of Marine Resources) to assess the potential to capture climate-driven responses and proactively identify where climate adaptation actions could be implemented. Survey program leads were asked 28 questions to identify climate and ecosystem-scale data gaps, risks, and opportunities. Questions and results were organized around four emergent themes, with short (≤ 5 years) and long-term (≥ 5 years) actions identified to reduce risk and uncertainty. A key finding was that strong partnerships were critical to successful data collection to date and implementation of new actions moving forward. The evaluation framework represents one of the first applications at the U.S. state agency scale in a region experiencing rapid and transformative change.
