Social-ecological networks are crucial for small-scale fisheries adaptation to climate change
Diego Salgueiro Otero leads an study that clarifies the adaptation pathway of fishers and identify the role of specific structures of social-ecological capital in their adaptive behavior
07/10/2022 - Despite dependent human communities on marine resources are in the frontline of the impacts, little is known about how adaptation works and what pathway leads towards sustainability. For that reason, Diego Salgueiro Otero, Michele Barnes and Elena Ojea decided to use and integrate the Adaptation Process, the Adaptive Capacity and the Continuum of Network Configuration Frameworks […]

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 […]

Future Oceans Lab runs the widest social-ecological survey in Galician small-scale fisheries
FOL fieldwork team samples fishing communities and their territory this summer
22/08/2018 - During this summer, FOL carried out a social survey at the Galician small-scale fisheries (SSF) communities with the objective of understanding adaptation to climate change from a social-ecological approach. This goal, included in CLOCK project is also part of the doctoral research of Diego Salgueiro, FOL member. Last spring, a preliminary questionnaire designed by Elena […]
