How do fishers view vulnerability and the impacts of climate change on fisheries? A new research study published this week by Dr. Laura Nelson et al. in the journal PLOS Climate looked at 162 surveys conducted with fishers across CA, OR, and WA Read more: bit.ly/3HQ274i

New research published in PLOS Climate shows that climate change is often not the greatest immediate concern for fishing communities operating along the U.S. West Coast. nature.org/en-us/newsroom…

"Perceptions of climate vulnerability play an important role in behavior and will be a factor in how and to what extent individuals take action to adapt to climate change." washingtonnature.org/fieldnotes/202…

Led by Dr. Laura Nelson, the study assessed fishers operating in the California Current along Washington, Oregon & California, about the degree to which they personally felt vulnerable to climate change and the ability of the industry to respond and adapt. nature.org/en-us/newsroom…

With support from Lenfest Ocean Program Pew Environment, Ocean Modeling Forum & colleagues developed statistical tools to make sustainability assessments much more tractable for data-poor regions. A lot more work is needed oceanmodelingforum.org/working-groups…

"Fishing communities have first-hand, local ecological knowledge, and while their assessment of climate vulnerability may differ from vulnerability as measured by subject experts, it’s a critical piece of the puzzle." - Dr. Laura Nelson washingtonnature.org/fieldnotes/202…
