Our Changing Coast builds on the research of NZ SeaRise.

- Universities & Wānanga: University of Auckland, Te Herenga Waka-Victoria University of Wellington, University of Canterbury, and Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi.
- CRIs: Earth Sciences New Zealand (formally GNS Science).
- Private sector science: BellAdapt, Oceanum, and Takiwā.
- Users and stakeholders: Murihiku Regeneration, Department of Conservation, NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi, Ministry for the Environment, He Pou a Rangi NZ Climate Change Commission, Local Government NZ, Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment, and Land Information NZ.
