Book (stand-alone)Building Climate-Resilient Fisheries and Aquaculture in the Asia-Pacific Region
FAO/APFIC Regional Consultative Workshop. Bangkok, Thailand, 14-16 November 2017
2019Also available in:
No results found.Fisheries and aquaculture is a sector of special importance to food security, nutrition and livelihood in the Asia-Pacific Region, which can be significantly impacted by climate changes and related disaster risks. Effectively addressing climate change impacts and managing disaster risks in fisheries and aquaculture sector are vitally important to building resilience of the sector for sustained and greater contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to ending hunger, poverty eradication and sustainable use of natural resources. FAO member countries in the region have been making good effort and significant progress in addressing climate change impacts and related disaster risks with support of international communities. A FAO regional consultative workshop was convened to bring together a wide range of players including country governments, regional organizations and other partners to share their knowledge and good practices in addressing climate change implications for fisheries and aquaculture in the region, to assess the progress made in addressing issues with marine capture fisheries, inland capture fisheries, coastal aquaculture and inland aquaculture in the context of climate change adaptation and mitigation in implementing the national plan of actions for addressing climate change in fisheries and aquaculture, and to recommend strategies for addressing institutional and capacity gaps in building climate-resilience fisheries and aquaculture industry in the region. The publication is the compilation of the workshop executive report, background technical papers, extended summary of presentations by representatives from participating government and FAO partners, and the workshop conclusions and recommendations. -
Policy briefThe Indonesian Seas Large Marine Ecosystem Strategic Action Programme
A brief
2024Also available in:
No results found.The Indonesian Seas Large Marine Ecosystem is a region shared by Indonesia (98 percent) and north coast of Timor-Leste (2 percent). Characterized by warm surface temperature and the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) that contribute to climate regulation, the region is a hub of mega biodiversity with unique habitats and ecosystems that offer high fisheries productivities and various other valuable ecosystem goods and services. The region has been instrumental to ensure nutrition, livelihood and coastal communities wellbeing. However, increasing fishing pressures, human and economic activities have threatened the sustainability of the region’s resources. Through the FAO/GEF-supported ISLME project, Indonesia and Timor-Leste formulated the Strategic Action Programme (SAP) in close collaboration with national fisheries and marine experts and stakeholders. The SAP is a follow-up of the Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA), an intensive, scientific causal chain analysis leading to the identification of the five Primary Environmental Concerns (PECs) to the region sustainability. With a vision to sustainable fisheries and healthy ocean in the ISLME area, providing ecosystem benefits for the long-term prosperity of the communities, the SAP aims to achieve three goals: ecosystem wellbeing, good governance and human wellbeing. The SAP’s five priority action plans are namely: (i) maintaining sustainable fisheries, (ii) restoring marine habitat biodiversity, (iii) reducing marine pollution, (iv) conserving ETP and other key marine species; and (v) responding to impacts of climate change. Each action. These are further elaborated into National Action Plans (NAPs), consisting 63 action plans for Indonesia, 25 action plans for Timor-Leste and 97 common action plans with an estimated total investment of USD 49 million over a five-year-period.The SAP, endorsed by both governments in January 2024, sets concrete timeframe, targets to achieve and the actors for each action plan initiative; and risks and management strategies to guide efforts towards sustainability. -
Book (stand-alone)Climate Change Implications for Fisheries And Aquaculture
Summary of the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fifth Assessment Report
2016Also available in:
This report aims to facilitate the use of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 5th Assessment Report (IPCC AR5) by those concerned with the fisheries and aquaculture sector and their dependent communities. The extensive information within the AR5 is condensed from the fisheries and aquaculture perspective and guiding links to the relevant IPCC documents facilitating further investigation are provided. The report moves from the chemical and physical changes already observed and forecasted within the aquatic systems (inland and marine), to the implications of these changes for fisheries and aquaculture production systems. The AR5 is then reviewed for knowledge on the effects, vulnerabilities and adaptation options within the sector and their dependent communities at the continent and regional scales. The report concludes with a review of knowledge gaps from the fisheries and aquaculture perspective that would support further IPCC efforts.
