This allowed us to identify some of the anticipated impacts of climate change on the currently exploited

The second part of the study aimed to i) explore local perceptions by fishers, of the effects of climate change on small-scale fisheries, ii) describe how well prepared the small-scale fishing sector is in front of climate change, and iii) illustrate the adaptation m

We organized four workshops (in the same three case countries) involving varied and relevant sectors and actors, within the small-scale fisheries sector. The workshops were attended by fishers, resear

Most considered fish species exhibit a medium or high risk to suffer from climate impacts and many of them will be outside their maximum preferred temperature within a few decades. That will ultimately lead to a decreas
