Adaptive capacity refers to resiliency or the ability
of the system to cope with the impacts associated with the
changes in climate. The components are further divided into three
sub-components, namely, fish, human, and community (Fig. 2).
In VA-TURF, the components are subdivided into fisheries, reef
ecosystem, and socio-economics. Each sub-component has corresponding
variables or criteria relevant for evaluating the major
components (i.e., exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity)
