Adaptation strategies that are beneficial in the short term can result in long-term maladaptive outcomes. For Indigenous Peoples, strategies that fail to address colonialism, inequities and injustices undermine effective adaptation . Large 'responsiveness gaps' between impacts and implementation, approaches that fail to consider dynamic responses within social and ecological systems , and a paucity of a priori planning can contribute to maladaptation  . For example, rationalisation  can stabilise fisheries and incentivise long-term sustainability under stationary conditions, yet also promote low diversity in harvest  portfolios, and when combined with behaviours to offset climate driven declines in yield , rationalisation can create lock-in to declining stocks, increasing the risk of income variability and collapse (Kasperski and Holland, 2013; Pinkerton and Davis, 2015; Holland et al., 2017; Ojea et al., 2017; Anderies et al., 2019; Fisher et al.,
