In the context of climate change adaptation,
the EA F/EA A process assists in the
monitoring of climate change impacts and in
coping with them, as improving the general
resilience of fisheries and aquaculture systems
will reduce their v ulnerabilit y to climate
change (De Silva and Soto, 2009).
Biodiversit y-rich, well-managed systems may
be less sensitive to change than overfished
and biodiversit y-poor systems. As an example,
healthy coral reef and mangrove systems can
provide many benefits, including natural
loops that are essential under an adaptive
framework.
None of the individual elements in EA F/EA A
are new or exclusive to the approach; its novelt y
is in bringing these elements together in a
common formal framework and demanding
explicit accounting of many processes or
assumptions that were often not considered in
the fisheries management process.
