“…Spatial distribution maps of coral reefs and seagrass were downloaded from Allen's Coral Atlas 83 . To represent how climate-induced loss of distinctive species from coral and fish assemblages will likely impact on ecosystem functions, four multifaceted functional biodiversity metrics were obtained from a published resource 84 . Multifaceted biodiversity metrics represent multiple complimentary functional components linked to ecosystem processes and ecosystem services 84 .…”

Subsistence-oriented communities in tropical coastal areas face the greatest threat from climate change, with consequences manifesting through diminishing returns from small-scale fishing and farming ventures. The complementary climate, sustainable development, and biodiversity conservation policies target reducing climate risks, but effective policy outcomes depend on a thorough understanding of system-wide climate risk, community adaptation potential and gaps, and possible economic losses. Using four countries in the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) region as a case, we present a framework for quantifying climate risk to subsistence-oriented coastal communities. On average, economic losses of ecosystem services are predicted to increase with increasing climate risk, with annual losses of up to 23% and 32% of total economic value (~ US$ 516,828,468/year) under SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios by 2050, respectively. A comprehensive assessment of climate risks, ecosystem service value and cost of climate inaction can inform policy actions aimed at adapting, mitigating, and compensating for the loss and damage caused by climate change.

This review aimed to explain vulnerability and climate change impacts on tropical aquatic fisheries and aquaculture focused on the Asian setting using a systematic literature review. In particular, the present study applied the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) to evaluate the available literature from 1990 to 2020. The study results showed clustering of texts, keywords and titles based on the search terms, e.g. climate, change, fisheries, Asia, adaptation, climate change, fisheries, and aquaculture. Using the text, links with high scores showed the following categorization per cluster: 1) Climate change and food security; 2) Biodiversity and environmental protection; 3) Conservation of resources; 4) Climate change impacts in Asia; 5) Fisheries. While for the abstracts and titles produced the following clustering: 1) Livelihood and food security; 2) Fisheries catch; 3) Approach to stakeholders; 4) Ecosystem services. Climate change or global environmental change dominates vulnerability and adaptation scholarship, but it is only one of the stressors causing vulnerability among fishing and aquaculture sectors. Several studies suggest adaptation as a solution leading to less vulnerability and resilience of fishing communities. However, our findings showed that social and economic factors of climate-induced vulnerability are still relatively neglected. Besides, keeping biodiversity and enhanced environmental protection can lead to a more productive and food-secure environment for farmers and fishers. Therefore, the interventions needed would always lead towards adaptation. Finally, establishing a science-based “adaptive fishery co-management” to further engage with fishing communities by addressing their wider vulnerabilities and aspirations (livelihood needs).
