Abstract
  • Climate change and climate-induced changes are expected to increase in the future and are likely to cause adverse impacts, especially on aquatic resources and coastal communities, by affecting the productivity and distribution of fish stocks. This will have serious implications on future demand and supply of fish at the global level with consequent effects on trade and on poor households in fishing communities that depend on fishing for consumption and income. However, documented studies on the economic analysis of the impacts of climate change on fisheries has been limited and fragmented. To address this gap, this paper consolidates existing knowledge and understanding related to the impacts of climate change on fisheries and coastal communities with a view of developing a research agenda that identifies priority research issues, provides a framework for collaborative research, and sets the future research direction based on the discussions arising from the “Consultation on the Impact of Global Climate Change on Aquatic Resources and Food and Income Security of Fishing Dependent Populations” held at the University of San Diego on August 24–25, 2005. Results of this study will provide a strong basis for formulating and prioritizing management strategies and policy options to better prepare and respond, as well as minimize the vulnerability of aquatic resources and the coastal population to the impacts of climate change.
