The Vanuatu Fisheries Department, SPC, GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit), AusAID (the Australian Agency for International Development) and Vanuatu's National Advisory Board on Climate Change and Disaster Risk Reduction held a two-day workshop in Port Vila on 30 and 31 May to help stakeholders in the fisheries and aquaculture sector identify priority adaptations to climate change.
The workshop was attended by staff from the Vanuatu Fisheries Department, other government departments, non-governmental organisations, tourism operators, community fishermen's associations and aquaculture partners. Participants learned about the effects of global warming and ocean acidification on the ecosystems and stocks supporting fisheries and aquaculture, and the consequences for economic development, food security and livelihoods.
