Key Points

The aim is to measure the vulnerability of marine social-ecological systems to enhance climate change adaptation strategies.
Developed metrics to assess vulnerability in marine ecosystems.
Focused on the interactions between ecological and social factors.
Utilized case studies to evaluate resilience in different marine environments.
Identified key factors contributing to vulnerability in various marine ecosystems.
Demonstrated that enhanced understanding of vulnerabilities can inform more effective adaptation strategies.
Revealed the necessity of integrating ecological and social perspectives for successful climate adaptation.
