"Small-scale fishing (SSF) communities face numerous current and future climate-related stressors. While many studies address the perceived resilience or latent adaptive capacity of these communities to such stressors, little existing work analyzes the observable responses of coastal communities to documented or ongoing climate-related stressors. Here we provide an analytical framework for exploring community responses to distinct stressors, as well as the attributes of communities that mediate different response types. We provide an example application of this framework to display the utility of this approach in categorizing observed community responses documented in existing literature. Application of this framework to the broader and growing body of literature describing responses of SSF communities to environmental perturbations will allow for greater insight into the characteristics of both communities and stressors that drive adaptive, reactive, or coping responses." ⎯ from "Predicting Future Oceans", chapter 26
The Nippon Foundation Nereus Science Conference was held September 14-15, 2019, at Princeton University. The meeting integrated diverse perspectives, from oceanography to anthropology, to discuss changes in ecological conditions and their social, economic, and policy implications. Over 50 presenters and panelists addressed a multitude of topics, from extreme events and marine pollution to high seas governance and seafood supply chains, all with a view to promoting sustainable and equitable future oceans.
The Nippon Foundation Nereus Program is a global partnership of 17 leading institutes working to advance our comprehensive understanding of the global human-ocean system across the natural and social sciences. Our research spans from oceanography and marine ecology to fisheries economics and impacts on coastal communities.
