Analysis of the economic impact of climate change and climate change adaptation strategies for fisheries sector in Pacific coral triangle countries: Model, estimation strategy, and baseline results

Climate change adaptation in aquaculture

“…Many strategies developed in selected case studies are specific to the region or country, which also considers the complexity and uncertainty of multiple climate change impacts embedded in aquaculture systems (Oviedo & Bursztyn 2016; Lebel et al 2018a). At the national level, in the marine policy sector, aquaculture itself is considered a strategy for adapting to climate change impacts; for instance, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Timor‐Leste, Fiji and Vietnam included aquaculture as a national adaptation strategy within the natural resource sector plans (Rosegrant et al 2016; Dey et al 2016a; Dey et al 2016b; Dey et al 2016c). The majority (81%) of adaptive strategy studies focus on the regional scale to the national scale, with only about 19% focusing on the community scale (Arimi 2014; Lebel et al 2015).…”

“…For example, protecting and restoring the ecosystems of Amazon flood plains in Brazil is a specific adaptive response to climate impacts affected by the local people in Amazon communities (Oviedo et al 2016). Furthermore, we identified more geographically generalisable adaptive strategies such as community‐based watershed management, the installation of rainwater harvesting tanks, the use of rainwater for fish culture and pond‐dike cropping (Ahmed & Diana 2016), and the development of new export markets and the strengthening of existing markets for farmed fish products to achieve higher farm prices (Dey et al 2016a; Dey et al 2016c), which can be used with appropriate changes. In the national‐level climate change adaptation policy context, ‘aquaculture’ is identified as an adaptation strategy for food security and economic development (e.g.…”

Critical problems associated with climate change: a systematic review and meta-analysis of Philippine fisheries research

“…A recent assessment of 206 fringing reefs in the Responsible Editor: Philippe Garrigues country reveals that a third of their hard-coral cover is damaged, and none is in excellent condition (Licuanan 2020). At the global scale, climate change is likely to lead to a decrease in marine primary production (Food and Agriculture Organization 2018), specifically from coastal fisheries (Dey et al 2016) and in South and Southeast Asia (Barange et al 2014). According to Food and Agriculture Organization (2018), the total maximum catch potential at the world's exclusive economic zones (EEZs) is also projected to decrease by 2.6-12.1% by 2050 relative to the year 2000.…”

Future Socio-Political Scenarios for Aquatic Resources in Europe: An Operationalized Framework for Aquaculture Projections

“…In 2013, aquaculture overtook fisheries as a source of aquatic products for human consumption and the continued per capita supply of seafood is expected to be completely fueled by increases in aquaculture (OECD-FAO, 2018). The impacts of climate change on fish stocks and their consequences for wild-capture fisheries have been investigated both globally and for specific, regional fisheries (Allison et al, 2009;Sumaila et al, 2011;Dey et al, 2015). There are comparably few studies, however, examining the biological and economic effects of climate change to the aquaculture industry (Ekstrom et al, 2015;Froehlich et al, 2018).…”
