Effective preparedness for hazards such as extreme weather, sea level rise, and ocean ecosystem change requires coordination across multiple sectors, including government, business, civil society, and academia. This coordination is essential to ensure that all parties work toward aligned goals and share resources, ideas, and information that lead to effective adaptation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Gulf of Maine ecosystem and Maine\u2019s coastal and estuarine habitats also play an important role in addressing climate change, Maine\u2019s carbon budget, and the ecological integrity of the state. Coastal communities and marine resource industries are leading important work to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and adapt to the hazards of climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Marine and Coastal Communities Sector of the Maine Climate Science Information Exchange strengthens collaboration and information sharing across this community of leaders and climate researchers to refine and accelerate solutions to marine and coastal climate challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-wrap.wp-block-kadence-rowlayout.kb-row-layout-id209_f05107-4d{margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:30px;}.kb-row-layout-id209_f05107-4d >
