- Register here.
This webinar series highlights current efforts and challenges at the climate-fisheries nexus. Presentations and discussions will range from data-driven efforts to better understand oceanographic and biological changes affecting fisheries, to how the results can be used to inform fisheries management, aquaculture, and sustainable food decisions, to the many ways people and broader communities are being impacted by and adapting to changes in marine ecosystems and marine resource use.
View all upcoming and past webinars.
This series is jointly hosted by the UN Ocean Decade Programs Blue Food Futures,Fisheries Strategies for Changing Oceans and Resilient Ecosystems (FishSCORE),Sustainability, Predictability, and Resilience of Marine Ecosystems (SUPREME),Sustainability of Marine Ecosystems through Global Knowledge Networks (SmartNet), and Fisheries and Marine Ecosystem Model Intercomparison Project (FishMIP) and endorsed project Basin Scale Events to Coastal Impacts (BECI).
