Yesterday, today and tomorrow we are sitting in Nyungar Country.
Making Space for the Sea24 July 2009, ASDI and CUSP hosted a free public
forum on the topic of climate change adaptation for coastal Fremantle
Aimed to engage scientists, governance and community in deep deliberation about the future of coastal Fremantle and to develop adaptive strategies in response to climate change impacts
Little action/research of this sort – mostly risk-based
Attended by 150 residents, LG officers and councillors, state government officers and other stakeholders

ResultsThe views of each groups were place-marked
in Google Earth during the course of the deliberations and saved in kmz files
Results were collected at the end of the afternoon in a common computer and discussed
At a later date, the data for all locations were pooled into a single kmz file
Kmz file mounted on CUSP website and publicly available.

Lessons learnt and future workBegin with deliberations about attributes to
get participants talking earlySort problems with saving complex kmz filesIncorporate basic principles into future
