| Summary: | International Multidisciplinary Conference OCEANEXT, Building the future of marine and coastal socio-ecosystems, 29 June - 10 July 2019, Nantes The CoCliME project aims to co-develop climate services for adaptation to changing marine ecosystems, focusing on harmful microorganisms in case studies in European regional seas (NE Atlantic, Baltic, Mediterranean, Black Sea, North Sea and Norwegian Sea). Working dynamically with key stakeholders and end-users in the different cases, CoCliME's transdisciplinary team (including natural and social scientists, climate modellers, biologists and chemists) are identifying common and particular needs, challenges and solutions for adapting to climate change-related impacts on marine habitats. CoCliME's ambition is to co-develop and co-produce bespoke, proof-of-concept or prototype climate services that will support informed adaptation decision-making based on intensive user co-development, exploitation of existing data sets, production of new scientific knowledge, and generation of lessons learned during the project. Through interconnected stakeholder engagement, scientific disseminations and science education, CoClime aims to harness co-development as a powerful learning tool to shape our understanding of how climate services can support current and future HAB risk management in Europe's regional seas. Here we will share findings about stakeholder knowledge, awareness and concerns about harmful algal blooms (HABs) and climate change across the CoCliME cases. We will present the project's conceptual framework and discuss the efforts to devise Marine Ecosystem Climate Impact Indicators (MECIIs), Climate Vulnerability and Adaptation Indicators (CVAIs) and Added-Value Indicators (AVIs). For each case study, databases covering relevant HAB events and hindcast models are produced as a basis for envisioning future HAB scenarios. Environmental, human health and socio-economic impacts are also analysed for selected events. Dialogue between scientists and stakeholders as part of ...
