Marine fisheries provide income, jobs, and nutrition for millions of people, but impacts of climate change are altering the productivity and distribution of fish stocks and the flows of benefits from fisheries. In this context of increasing change and uncertainty, effective fishery management systems need to be designed to support resilience. This working group will synthesize interdisciplinary information to identify key features of resilience and develop guidance on approaches, processes, and tools that can help operationalize resilience in fisheries around the world.
OUR APPROACH: Using experiences and data from around the world, this team will identify features of fisheries that support resilience in the context of climate change. We will analyze case studies to evaluate the benefits of these attributes in fisheries that have already experienced climate impacts. Ultimately, the working group will develop a tool to help managers assess and enhance resilience in a wide variety of fisheries.
This team is part of a cohort funded by the generosity of the David and Lucile Packard Foundation to address the theme of Oceans, Climate and Equity.
