A key source of animal protein – vital for food and nutrition security (15% of animal proteins to 3 billion people in the world)
Fisheries and aquaculture is a major source of employment to both men and women - (45 million people)
Provider of livelihood support (540 million)
Most of fishers are small scale (90%) 50% ancillary workers are women Supports economic development
1. a. What is at stake?
1. b. What is at stake? coastal ecosystem services to fishing and fish
farming communities
Food and water

2. a. Vulnerability of fishing and fish farming communities
Inherent vulnerability Dynamic environment Marginalisation from decision making processes Poor capacity to influencesocial processes Poor health Limited social safety nets Exposure to hazards

Wider society & Economy
Impacts on: Species composition Production & yield Distribution Diseases Coral bleaching Calcification
Safety & efficiency Infrastructure
Loss/damage to assets Risk to health & life Displacement & conflict
Adaptation & mitigation costs Market impacts Water allocation
2. c. Vulnerability of fishing and fish farming communities
Badjeck et al, 2010
4. a. What are we doing? Building and developing capacity of
partners and stakeholders at global, regional, national and community level to prepare for and respond to natural disasters and the impacts of climate change
Strengthening policy integration at regional and national levels, taking community needs into consideration
Improving partnership collaboration and coordination of DRM and CCA in fisheries and aquaculture
4.b. What are we doing? Building ecological, economic and social Resilience
Implementation of ecosystem approach to fisheries and aquaculture, the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries
Livelihood diversification, public and private insurance
• Supporting internal planning and coordination
