On Wednesday, May 25, we hosted a virtual Q&A with Dr. Yong Chen and Dr. Yunzhou Li from Stonybrook University about their newly funded project to evaluate the ecological and socioeconomic risks to China’s fishing industry from climate change. It is currently unclear how sensitive China’s commercial fisheries are to climate change or whether current management efforts are sufficient to ameliorate impacts on fisheries productivity. Drs. Chen and Li aim to equip managers with evidence-based adaptation strategies that improve climate-readiness of ecosystems, industries, and coastal communities. Their results will be communicated with key stakeholders and policymakers and summarized in a white paper distilling lessons learned and recommendations.
