Impacts and adaptation of fisheries to shifting stocks

Climate change is already impacting coastal fisheries and trans-boundary fish stocks, both in ecological and socio-economic terms. Evidence on these shifts needs to be analyzed in order to understand the magnitude of shifts, the location of scientific knowledge and the impact of the fishing activity. The student will be able to get to know the fisheries and will be able to collaborate with an active group of researchers at Future Oceans Lab.
