FOL publishes a new study on Vulnerability assessment of Galician stalked barnacle fishery to climate change impact
RAQUEL RUIZ-DÍAZ LEADS A NEW PUBLICATION WITHIN THE CLOCK PROJECT WITH THE COLLABORATION OF FOL MEMBERS ELENA OJEA AND ALBA AGUIÓN
18/09/2020 - Small-scale fisheries (SSFs), which provide an important source of livelihood for many coastal communities, are at risk from climate change. Benthic organisms are likely to be particularly affected by the impacts of climate change due to their low spatial mobility, which limits their capacity for adaptation. Therefore, SSFs that target sedentary resources (“S-fisheries”) will potentially […]
