Priority adaptations to climate change for Pacific fisheries and aquaculture: reducing risks and capitalizing on opportunities
Proceedings for a workshop organized last year by FAO and Secretariat of the Pacific Community are now available. Priority adaptations to climate change for Pacific fisheries and aquaculture: reducing risks and capitalizing on opportunities provides a summary of the technical presentations given at the workshop on the implications of climate change for Pacific fisheries
and aquaculture as well as the outcomes of discussions on the priority adaptations that Pacific island countries and territories (PICTs) can implement to reduce
risks and take advantage of opportunities.
Discussions focused on priority adaptations for economic development and government revenue, food security and sustainable livelihoods for Melanesian, Micronesian and Polynesian nations. The adaptations identified reflect the different fisheries participation rates and
importance of fish to economic development and as a source of local food and income in these different region.
