Considering the concerns of climate change and its impacts on coastal fisheries resources, SPC is implementing the "Monitoring the Vulnerability and Adaptation of Coastal Fisheries to Climate Change" project with funding assistance from the Government's International Climate Change Adaptation Initiative (ICCAI). This initiative aims to assist Pacific Islands Countries and Territories (PICTs) to determine whether changes are occurring in the productivity of coastal fisheries and, if changes are found, to identify the extent to which such changes are due to climate change, as opposed to other causative factors. This report presents the results of baseline field surveys for the project conducted in Funafuti Atoll, Tuvalu, in July and August 2011.
