Climate change adaptation in fisheries and aquaculture
2014
Shelton, C.
This circular examines current and recent climate change adaptation activities and measures in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors. These examples are a selection of current and recent activities and provide an overview of the types of adaptation activities and programmes that are addressing fisheries and aquaculture sectors rather than a comprehensive review of adaptation activities addressing fisheries and/or aquaculture. Some of the highlighted activities are specifically targeted at addressing climate change impacts on the fisheries or aquaculture sectors, and others address related areas (e.g. coastal management and capacity building activities) that also have benefits for fisheries or aquaculture. An overview of climate change impacts on global fisheries and aquaculture and potential adaptation and mitigation strategies is provided in addition to specific examples. Descriptions and benefits to fisheries and other sectors (if relevant) for 26 current or recent activities and programmes focused specifically on or benefiting fisheries and/or aquaculture, primarily in developing countries highlight the diversity of potential adaptation actions at local to regional scales. This circular is intended to provide a starting point for planners, policy makers and practioners who are involved in sectors related to fisheries and aquaculture around the globe.
