A framework for the preliminary assessment of vulnerability of fisheries-dependent communities

Creator:: Berns, Richard Hunter and Berns, Richard Hunter
Abstract:: Global climate change is projected to have far-ranging effects on the oceans and marine life. In turn, fisheries will likely undergo changes in their distributions and abundance. Coastal Alaskan communities are often highly dependent on commercial fisheries, and as a result will likely be vulnerable to climate change. The purpose...
