This report details an exploration of the decision context for land use change as an adaptation to climate change in the primary industries. This project focuses on the dynamic interactions between values, rules, and knowledge used by decision makers. The aim is to support adaptation planning in the primary industries, by contributing to the evidence base, and enhance capability and capacity for responding to the risks and opportunities due to climate change.

The integration of the results of spatially explicit marine science research projects can be facilitated when the different outputs use the same spatial projection and spatial grids which can nest into each other. Wood et al. (2020) used an equal area projection for the New Zealand marine environment and proposed a central point through which all grids should intersect. We provide the R code and reference to an R package which creates such grids as a baseline for future researchers.
