Practical tips for following the IMCORE approach to planning to adapt to coastal climate change

Throughout the three steps of the IMCORE approach, aimed at developing local adaptation strategies, stakeholders were engaged within each of the case study areas.
Different combinations of techniques, workshops and events were used in each area depending on individual needs and stakeholder relationships. For example, in Cork, the Harbour Forum and Focus Group were already in place with a committed group of interested stakeholders who already knew each other - whereas, in Lough Swilly, an expert group with a coastal adaptation focus was developed for the first time as part of the IMCORE project.
