BCC-FAO Regional Workshop on Assessing Climate Change Vulnerability in Fisheries and Aquaculture
The purpose of the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem Regional Workshop on Assessing Climate Change Vulnerability in Fisheries and Aquaculture was to present an initial review of the bio-physical and biological implications of climate variability and change on the region’s fisheries; review the latest stages in research on and application of climate variability and change vulnerability methodologies and discuss their appropriateness to the region's adaptation planning needs; identify key el ements of vulnerability for the region, including climate-related drivers of change and adaptive capacities along the entire fisheries and aquaculture value chains. Making the link between expert advice and practical use of vulnerability methodologies from around the globe with fisheries representatives from the region set the scene for fruitful discussions on how to develop vulnerability frameworks appropriate to the region, making the best use of existing information and evaluating means to co llect needed information, particularly concerning social and economic vulnerability of the region’s fisheries and aquaculture.
