Policy briefPolicy briefLessons learned and public policy recommendations on adaptation to climate change in artisanal fisheries and small-scale aquaculture in Chile. Policy brief. 2021
Also available in:
This document is part of the project “Strengthening the adaptive capacity to climate change in the fisheries and aquaculture sector of Chile”, executed by the Undersecretariat of Fisheries and Aquaculture and the Ministry of the Environment, and implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, with funding from the Global Environment Facility. The work was implemented in four pilot coves: Caleta Riquelme (Tarapacá); Caleta Tongoy (Coquimbo); Caleta Coliumo (Biobío); and Caleta El Manzano-Hualaihué (Los Lagos). This document presents the primary results and innovative aspects of the project, in keeping with its three main components: strengthening of public and private institutional capacities; improvement of the adaptive capacity of artisanal fisheries and small-scale aquaculture; and strengthening knowledge and awareness about climate change in fishing and aquaculture communities. It also details the lessons learned during the project, with the goal of providing the authorities and communities involved in the fisheries and aquaculture sector with the capacity and tools required to adapt to future climate scenarios. Recommendations are made for scaling-up adaptation actions in the pilot coves and making this initiative sustainable beyond the end of the project. Finally, public policy recommendations are presented according to five main subjects: plans and programmes in artisanal fishing and small-scale aquaculture; training at the national and local level; climatic and oceanographic information; productive diversification; and gender mainstreaming. This document is aimed at the beneficiary partners and the sectoral institutions and its objective is to serve as a guide and/or model for other coastal communities in Chile.

No results found.This issue of ASFA Magazine explores the evolving role of Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts (ASFA) in the era of artificial intelligence (AI). It highlights how AI is reshaping the management and dissemination of fisheries and aquaculture information — from enhancing translation of technical terminology and improving data recording, to advancing the vision of a universal library. While embracing AI’s opportunities, ASFA remains attentive to the risks, ensuring that both its technologies and partners continue to evolve inclusively. The issue also features updates from ASFA partners, event highlights, and tributes, including an in memoriam for Jacqueline Prod’homme, a dedicated ASFA partner and advocate for knowledge sharing. -
