This document summarizes climate change adaptation efforts occurring at multiple levels of governance in relation to the Great Barrier Reef. It describes adaptation activities undertaken by governments, communities, and businesses. It also examines the roles of different organizations, the types of adaptation strategies employed, and the triggers driving adaptation. Preliminary results suggest adaptation is occurring at all levels of governance but predominantly at higher levels. Future directions discussed include analyzing the interactions between adaptation strategies across levels.
