„ „ Technical assessment involves documenting the
impact of climate change on aquatic systems
and the fisheries and aquaculture activities and
value chains that they support, identif ying the
social groups that will be affected, and
analysing the reasons for the v ulnerabilit y of
people and systems to the impact of climate
change.
„ „ Planning integration involves consolidating
adaptation options in policies and strategies
and including them in broader processes. The
g uidance addresses the information needed for
adaptation planning and how to ensure the
visibilit y and mainstreaming of fisheries and
aquaculture in NAPs and national development
policies.
„ „ Implementation involves defining the adaptation
mechanisms to include in the NAP and the
practical actions and mechanisms that need
to be in place to support their
implementation. Monitoring and evaluation
are required to determine whether and how
fisheries and aquaculture are adapting to
climate change and to assess the effectiveness
of actions taken. n
and specific g uidelines for fisheries and
aquaculture (Brugère and De Young, 2018).
The g uidance for fisheries and aquaculture builds
on the principles of EA F/EA A. It proposes clear
steps to ensure that the specificities of the sector
are ref lected in the NAP process and support
adaptation planning within the sector. Plans
should be developed in consultation with key
stakeholders and should consider potential
interactions with other sectors. The g uidance is
intended to be as practical as possible, with step-
by-step advice and examples under the following
four elements.
„ „ Institutional stocktaking and assessment sets the scene
for engaging key stakeholders in cross-sectoral
NAP development and implementation. It
involves taking stock of the sectors’ previous
experience in climate adaptation planning so
as to build upon it, and evaluating the
availabilit y of the institutional and individual
skills and mechanisms needed to support the
mainstreaming of fisheries and aquaculture
in NAPs.
