Aquaculture and Climate Change: Adapting to a Changing Environment

“Climate Resilience: Preparing Aquaculture for Environmental Changes”

Climate change poses significant challenges to aquaculture, from rising sea temperatures to increased disease prevalence. Let’s talk about adaptation strategies:

  • Impact Observations: Have you noticed changes in your operations attributable to climate change? Examples might include altered growth rates or new disease patterns.
  • Adaptive Measures: What strategies are you implementing to mitigate climate-related risks? This could involve selective breeding, relocation, or infrastructure adjustments.
  • Research and Development: Are you involved in or aware of research initiatives focused on climate resilience in aquaculture? Share any promising findings.
  • Policy and Support: What role should governments and organizations play in supporting the industry through these changes?

Your experiences and insights can help the community prepare for and adapt to the impacts of climate change.
