This study examines the social-ecological systems of North Pacific coastal communities facing climate change impacts. Applying quantitative responses and adaptive management policies, it aims to enhance resilience, decrease risks, and increase sustainability through innovative strategies. The research focuses on key factors such as trophic interactions, fisheries, and community adaptation, highlighting the need for both bottom-up and top-down approaches to foster resilience.
