Small-scale fisheries adaptations in clime change hotspots
FOL MEMBER XOCHITL ÉDUA ELÍAS ILOSVAY LEAD A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW AS PART OF HER PHD within CLOCK project
02/11/2022 - Anthropogenic climate change is increasingly threatening the global sustainability of small-scale fisheries (SSF) through its direct and indirect impacts on fish stocks and dependent livelihoods. However, despite the global importance of a sector that represents over 90% of the world’s capture fisheries and secures food and jobs for approximately 100 million people worldwide. Very few […]

What makes a fisher diversify livelihoods under climate change?
Researchers of Future Oceans Lab identify a set of fisher’s adaptive capacity determinants that influence climate change transformation
30/09/2022 - In the coming years, climate change is expected to increase the degree and frequency of impacts on marine systems and related human communities. In many cases, adaptation is not enough and transformative actions are going to be needed. At individual level, transformative behavior can be understood as livelihood diversification, and the effect of this practice […]

Declining efficiency of small scale fisheries around the globe threatens food security
Alex Tidd leads a study on global reduction in efficiency of artisanal fisheries
17/12/2021 - Fisheries are a crucial part of the global food system, representing on average 15-20% of animal protein intake (in some countries over 50%) for 4.5 billion people. Historically, changes in the efficiency of fishing fleets drove massive increases in global fisheries catches. Too many boats with excessive harvesting power catching too few fish can lead […]

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 […]
