Resilient WAys
Coastal Resilience Research
Overview
The Resilient WAys program seeks to build a more resilient, sustainable Western Australia and a more resilient world. We draw on a wide range of scientific theories and methods to advance the state of knowledge about coastal social-ecological systems and develop tools for their governance and management.
Our journey began in June 2023, with funding from the Western Australia Premier's Science Program to Prof. Graeme Cumming and Dr. Abbie Rogers.
We currently have two central programs:
Program 1: Protected areas, social-ecological feedbacks, and coastal resilience
​
Program 2: Risk and resilience in coastal management
Our Aims
1. Understand the social, ecological, economic, and biophysical processes that connect people and nature in the coastal zone;
2. Explore the interactions and feedbacks that drive coastal social-ecological system dynamics, and their implications for resilience;
3. Translate coastal science into relevant information and support for governance and management.
