dc.descriptionFisheries is an important livelihood option to different social groups that also contributes to food and nutritional security in developing countries. In addition, fish contribute more to developing countries’ revenue than most agricultural commodities and thus need the most attention for economic growth. Climate change is exerting some challenges on this sector. Increasing water temperature and ocean acidification affect fish production and ecology which in-turn have impacts on fish species distribution and composition, diseases and fish catch rates. The intensity and frequency of sea storms affect fishing operations and thus has implications on safety of fishermen along with fishing infrastructural damage. In this light, the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries (EAF) can help fishing communities adapt to climate change. The EAF is the holistic and participatory framework for fisheries management which spans the three pillars of sustainability. In its application, it seeks to maintain ecosystem integrity, improve human well-being and enable good governance.
