Marine Communities Impacted by Extreme Climate Events: For FY2017, the PICCC is interested in supporting efforts by marine communities to learn from recent extreme climate events and better position themselves for future variability and adaptation to climate change in Hawaii and U.S.-affiliated Pacific Islands. Through this Notice of Funding Opportunity, the PICCC is soliciting statements of interest and proposals from teams comprised of communities, marine resource managers, researchers and/or decision-makers that are confronting the impacts of extreme climate events and are seeking management or policy responses in preparation for future events and adaptation to climate change.

The PICCC will select one or more teams that best demonstrate the ability to collaborate and work cooperatively with the PICCC in an adaptation initiative to:
â¿¢ Understand the impacts of extreme climate events on the biophysical environment and marine resources at island-wide or archipelagic scales;
â¿¢ Evaluate the effects of response decisions and actions (or possibly, inaction);
â¿¢ Learn from past responses to other extreme climate events; and
â¿¢ Establish or update marine resource policies and management actions to better respond to future variability and adaptation to climate change.
