THE STATE OF WORLD FISHERIES AND AQUACULTURE 2018
TABLE 21
EXAMPLES OF ADAPTATION OPTIONS FOR FISHERIES AND AQUACULTURE
Type of intervention
Examples
Institutions and management
Public policies Considering fisheries and aquaculture in regional, national and local adaptation
policies and plans
Building political support for management change
Cross-sectoral coordination and regulation
Legal matters Mechanisms for protecting tenure and access rights
Institutional design/set-up Building capacity of institutions to integrate research, management and policy
Encouraging partnership between science and policy institutions so that research is
developed at relevant scales for decision-making
Enhanced institutional cooperation agreement(s) among countries to enhance the
capacity of fleets to move across national boundaries in response to change in species
distribution
Planning and management Implementation of the ecosystem approach to fisheries and to aquaculture
Integrated coastal zone (ICZ) management
Flexible seasonal rights
Redistribution of rights among neighbouring municipalities to share responsibilities
Risk-based zoning and siting through risk analysis
Temporal and spatial planning to permit stock recovery during periods when climate
is favourable
Transboundary stock management to take into account changes in distribution
Aquaculture area management plans to minimize climate-related risks
Livelihoods
Within sector Diversification of patterns of fishing or fish farming activities with respect to the species
exploited, location of fishing grounds or farms and gear used
Improvement or change in post-harvest techniques/practices and storage
Improvement in product quality: ecolabelling, reduction of post-harvest losses
Investment in aquaculture (e.g. mud crab, seaweed, fish cages)
Diversification of markets and fish products, access to higher-value markets
Outside sector Livelihood diversification (e.g. switching among rice farming, tree crop farming and
fishing in response to seasonal and interannual variations in fish availability)
Resilience/risk
Early warning Early warning communication and response system
Monitoring trends
Information to anticipate price/market variability
Extreme weather forecasting
Pooling/risk sharing (or
transfer) Risk insurance, savings, credit, social protection
Prevention Aquaculture zoning and area management
Safety at sea and vessel stability
Effective management of natural barriers to provide a natural first line of protection
from storm surges and flooding
Coastal zone management permitting movement of fish along with sea level rise
Social safety nets for the most vulnerable
Preparedness and response Documenting and disseminating best practices in the sector
Guidebooks and training package on disaster needs assessment and response in
the sector
Sharing of property and risks among community members
Insurance provision
Activities aimed at strengthening social cohesion
