Implications of climate change on fisheries and aquaculture: Challenges for adaptation and mitigation in the Asia-Pacific region 2011

Also available in:

It is now widely recognized that the effects of climate change will impact the fisheries sector and result in increased uncertainty in the supply of fish from capture fisheries and aquaculture. The warming of the sea surface, rivers and lakes, changing precipitation, water salinity and ocean acidity and sea level rise will affect marine, coastal and inland environments. Food quality may also be threatened with increased risk of species invasions and the spreading of vector-borne diseases. Positi ve impacts like access to new species and markets may also arise as a result of climate change. This technical workshop was convened in Kathmandu, Nepal from 24 to 26 May 2011 to review mitigation and adaptation strategies for the fisheries and aquaculture sectors in Asia and the Pacific. The workshop brought together 50 participants from member countries and partner organizations to share available information and knowledge, and discuss and analyze the specific potential impacts of different ty pes of climate change patters on marine capture fisheries, inland capture fisheries, coastal aquaculture and inland aquaculture. Recommendations are included in the report covering, among others, advocacy for increased policy emphasis on climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies in the sector, strengthening of governance, and use of integrated management approaches and monitoring tools.
