  1. Introductionto the climate change session Johann Bell

  2. Vulnerability assessment Supported by

  3. Why are we so concerned? El Nino 1972 1983 1998 • Peruvian anchovy Anchoveta catch (million t) La Nina El Nino • Skipjack tuna

  4. How could climate change derail our plans? Optimise contributions of tuna to economic development Provide sufficient fish for food security Maximise sustainable livelihoods from fisheries resources

  5. Our approach Projected changes to atmospheric and oceanic conditions Ecosystems supporting fish Fish stocks Implications for economic development, food security and livelihoods Adaptations needed to maintain productivity - management and policies

  7. Main products • 1. Book • ‘Vulnerability of Fisheries and Aquaculture in the Tropical Pacific to Climate Change’ • 2. Summary for Policy Makers • Products available October 2011 – to be launched at SPC Conference in Marshall Islands • Followed by a regional workshop in 2012 to translate main findings into priority adaptations

  8. Today’s programme Projected changes to atmospheric and oceanic conditions • x Ecosystems supporting fish Fish stocks Implications for economic development, food security and livelihoods Adaptations
