Adaptation of the Western Baltic Coastal Fishery to Climate Change (balt_ADAPT)
Project
Project code: TI-OF-08-PID2343
Contract period: 01.11.2020
- 31.10.2023
Purpose of research: Applied research
The cumulative impacts of climate change, together with the prevailing fishing pressure, pose a threat to the coastal fisheries resources of the Western Baltic Sea.
Many target species undergo dramatic changes in their productivity and biogeography, mainly related to ocean warming. However, knowledge on the impact and threats on fish biodiversity in the Western Baltic Sea and the adaptive capacity of local fisheries with respect to future climate change is lacking. The main goal of the project balt_ADAPT is to provide new scientific knowledge on the vulnerability of the Western Baltic fish community to climate change, developing tools for an ecosystem-based management and for the adaptation of the Western Baltic Sea fisheries. These tools will support policy makers in achieving a sustainable use of the fisheries resources under the effects of future climate change.
