FishAdapt: Global Conference on Climate Change Adaptation for Fisheries and Aquaculture
Climate change is altering aquatic ecosystems, driving shifts in physical and chemical processes and in the distribution and abundance of species. These changes have implications for fisheries management, food security and the livelihoods of more than 600 million people world-wide that are employed in fisheries and aquaculture or related industries.
A global conference on climate change adaptation in fisheries and aquaculture will be held in Bangkok from 8-10 August. The "FishAdapt" conference is being organised by 21 partner organisations from around the world and sponsored by FAO, the governments of Japan, Norway, Thailand and the United States; RARE, the World Meteorological Organization and the International Atomic Energy Agency.
This conference is targeted at scientists, development professionals and natural resource managers working in the context of fisheries, aquaculture, rural development and related fields. It will provide a forum to share practical experiences in understanding the vulnerabilities associated with climate change and the development of risk management and adaptation strategies.
The conference will bridge inter-disciplinary gaps and provide a wider, shared perspective on the issues and the current state of knowledge. The deadline for submission of abstracts is 31 May 2016. To register or obtain more information please visit the FishAdapt Conference website<http://www.fishadapt.com/>.
