Adaptation strategy
Once the issues have been identified and stakeholders have agreed to a preferred scenario, the next step is to develop an adaptation strategy.This allows you to understand what the desired future entails and to identify the actions required.
You need to assess the "implementability" of actions and to ensure there is a comittment to mainstream and/or ratify them by one or various stakeholders.
The IMCORE approach and therefore methodology was applied by most partners (See the Lough Swilly, North East England or Cork Harbour examples). Other IMCORE partners took different approaches for example, in the Gulf of Morbihan, a decision making tool was developed for policy makers whereas in Sefton the overall output was an adaptation study. In the Severn Estuary however, adaptation guidelines were developed and the East of England created a community adaptation action plan.
