This briefing summarises the outputs from the All Party Parliamentary Group on Fisheries open Parliamentary webinar, held on 12 July 2021. The meeting heard from speakers from around the world who have made pioneering efforts to build climate resilience into fisheries and coastal communities.
The briefing summarises case studies from South America, Australia and Canada which provide useful insights into building resilience into fisheries management strategies. They describe the progress made in different regions, highlighting both successes and obstacles, and provide useful lessons for the UK’s own approach to fisheries management and support for coastal communities. They give an indication of the importance of proactive planning, robust science, and cross-border and cross-sector cooperation in ensuring that fisheries and coastal communities are as effectively prepared for the future as possible.
