Communities and governments at all levels increasingly use decision- making frameworks  or decision- analysis tools to evaluate trade-offs between different responses, rather than applying generic best practices to different physical, technical or cultural contexts  . Increased effort has also been devoted to developing climate services  that bridge the gap between climate prediction and decision making . Climate services have the potential to inform decision making related to disaster-risk reduction, adaptation responses, marine environmental management  and ocean-based climate mitigation  . Although improving observational and modelling capacity is important to developing ocean-focused services, particularly in high-risk regions like SIDS where regional climate projections are scarce , data are not the only limiting factor in decision making . Focusing on user engagement, relationship building and the decision-making context ensures that climate services are useful to, and used by, different stakeholders  .
