"The introductory section familiarizes you with resilience and vulnerability concepts and reviews the various frameworks that are necessary to move from resilience theory to practical application. We help you define the decision-making contexts that can benefit from resilience assessments, and to clarify the objectives, scope and intended outcomes for your resilience assessment. A 10-step Guide is then presented for anyone who wishes to use the resilience assessment process to inform planning or management decisions. The guidance draws on practical experience in applying resilience concepts to coral reef management (see references to case study examples), and highlights both technical and process considerations for successful delivery of a resilience assessment project. We begin by reviewing the context for resilience assessments, followed by the considerations that can help you decide if resilience assessments are right for you"--Executive Summary.
