There has been a substantial amount of literature focused on coastal and oceanic adaptation since AR5. Socio-institutional adaptation responses are the more numerous of the three types of adaptation responses assessed in this chapter. There is broad agreement that hard engineering responses are optimally supported by ecosystem-based adaptation approaches, and both approaches should be augmented by socioinstitutional approaches for adaptation ( ''high confidence'' ) (Nicholls et al., 2015; Peirson et al., 2015; Sánchez-Arcilla et al., 2016; van der Nat et al., 2016; Francesch-Huidobro et al., 2017; Khamis et al., 2017). In planning adaptation responses, awareness-raising and stakeholder engagement processes are important for buy-in and ownership of responses ( ''robust evidence, high agreement'' ) as is institutional capacity within local government organisations, whose importance in coastal adaptation initiatives has been emphasised in the recent literature ( ''robust evidence, high agreement'' ). With all three types of adaptation, basic good governance and effective implementation of service delivery processes are prerequisites for successful adaptation planning and response.
