Sea Change Australia is now live!

Interactive Q&A platform connects the seafood community with climate change experts.

Sea Change Australia is a new national initiative bringing fishers, aquaculture producers, industry, managers, and researchers together to facilitate knowledge exchange and co-develop climate-resilient options for strong and healthy fisheries and aquaculture sectors in Australia.

Climate change is a growing threat—and stakeholders in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors need tailored information, practical tools, and a space to share what’s working (and what’s not). Through two-way conversations, story-sharing, and on-the-ground collaboration with selected fisheries and aquaculture operations, Sea Change Australia is identifying what’s working, where the barriers are, and how to scale up adaptation across Australia.

It’s about strengthening the agility of our fisheries and aquaculture sectors to adapt to climate change and creating and testing a model that might also be useful in other places, or in other contexts (i.e. fisheries and aquaculture in other regions, or a land-based agriculture sector, for example).

Sea Change Australia is building a nationwide network to:

Fishing for Climate Answers – Q&A Platform: https://seachangeaustralia.org/qa-platform/

• Stakeholders (e.g. fishers, industry professionals, managers, and researchers) can submit climate-related questions, and our system connects them to registered experts.
• Experts (e.g. scientists and seasoned practitioners) can register directly and create a profile in our portal.
• Registering doesn’t commit you to answering — you’ll simply get notified when a question aligns with your expertise and can choose to respond or not.

Sea Change Australia initiative is endorsed by the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development under the FishSCORE2030 program.
