Marine Heatwave Response Management Workshop, March 28, 2025

On March 28, 2025, IRD in Nouméa hosted the first collective intelligence workshop as part of the MaHeWa project, focused on managing marine heatwaves in New Caledonia. The primary goal of the day was to address two key questions: what should be done when an imminent marine heatwave is announced? and what are the seven priority themes to incorporate into a collective strategy? More specifically, the workshop aimed to: inform stakeholders about marine heatwaves and their impacts, identify actions to implement, determine barriers and levers for intervention, and co-develop a management unit and a tailored communication plan.
