This report is an output of the project "Enhancing Climate Change Resilience in the Small Pelagic Fisheries of the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem", which falls within the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and Benguela Current Convention (BCC) project on "Enhancing Climate Change Resilience in the Benguela Current Fisheries System". The aim of the project is to "build resilience and reduce the vulnerability to climate change of the marine fisheries and mariculture sectors within the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystems through strengthening adaptive capacity and implementing participatory and integrated strategies in order to ensure food and livelihood security". The project was funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the governments of Angola, Namibia and South Africa and FAO. FAO is the agency responsible for the supervision and provision of technical guidance during the implementation of the project and the BCC was assigned as the executing agency.
