Fisheries Strategies for Changing Oceans and Resilient Ecosystems by 2030 (FishSCORE 2030)

  • What it is

    A programme to co-develop approaches to sustain marine fisheries

  • Who it’s for

    Scientists, fishing sector members, practitioners, and policy experts

  • What it’s for

    Sustain marine life, protect oceans, secure fair benefits at sea.

We will develop assessment and modeling frameworks that synthesize complex ecological, social, cultural, economic, and governance dimensions of fishery systems in changing oceans to illuminate specific vulnerabilities and actionable adaptation options. We will delve into evidence and experiences from fishery systems around the globe to find what works in the real world. We will nurture partnerships to apply and improve our frameworks and put to them to work to change the climate outlook of local and regional fisheries.

Program Goals:

    • Build a global network to facilitate information exchange, foster learning, and advance approaches to achieve climate-resilient fisheries.
    • Develop information and tools for assessing climate impacts, vulnerabilities, and capacities to enhance resilience in marine fishery systems.
    • Apply frameworks and tools in fishery systems around the world to support climate adaptation, and use insights from these experiences to iteratively improve the tools and resources.
    • Further the development of scientific foundations and implementation approaches needed to achieve healthy marine ecosystems, vibrant fisheries, and equitable benefits in the context of climate-driven changes in our world’s oceans.
