Marine Fisheries and Climate Change
The adoption of a Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and Integrated Ecosystem-based Fisheries Management (FAO, 2007), will be a challenge for India considering the high poverty levels prevalent in the coastal communities involved in traditional fishing. The lack of suitable alternate income generating options for them makes these communities highly vulnerable to future changes. Thus an effo...
Aquaculture in Sunderban Climate Change Adaptation
Climate change impact in the Sunderban ecoregion with rising sea level and accelerated coastal erosion is already evident in the Mousani Island and Namkhana, Bermajur and Sandeshkhali Blocks in the Sunderban. This is increasingly disrupting the production processes and the livelihoods of communities. It is thus essential to pave way for sustainable aquaculture practices that may help balance ecolo...
