What are the economic impacts of climate change on fisheries?

How is climate change affecting fisheries economically?

Climate change impacts fisheries through changes in fish populations, migration patterns, and habitat loss, leading to economic losses.

Can you give examples of specific fish species affected?

Yes, species like cod and haddock are experiencing population declines due to warmer waters and overfishing.

What are the broader economic implications for coastal communities?

Coastal communities may face job losses, reduced income from fishing, and increased costs for fishery management and conservation.

Are there any strategies to mitigate these impacts?

Strategies include sustainable fishing practices, habitat restoration, and policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
