| dc.description | Fish production in the small island developing states in the Caribbean is important for food security, livelihoods, local employment and foreign exchange for the national governments. However, there is high level of demand that is outpacing the production. The reason for this low production is due to overexploitation, high levels of illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, and the impacts of coastal pollution from non-point sources. In addition to these, climate change is compounding the problem through e.g. coral bleaching, coastal erosion, and an increasing number of high intensity hurricanes. To address these challenges, FAO is implementing a project that aims to increase resilience and reduce vulnerability to climate change impacts. The project introduced adaptation measures in fisheries management and carried out the capacity building of fisher-folk and aquaculturists. | |
