Title Climate Change
Challenges on Indian
marine fisheries sector
 
Creator Shyam, S Salim
Elizabeth James, Harsha
 
Subject Climate Change
 
Description Climate change can have a significant
influence on terrestrial and aquatic
biodiversity at all system levels –
ecosystem, species and genetic.
Marginalised sections of communities will
further be pushed due to the impacts of
climate change. The effect on the marine
ecosystem will be multipronged affecting
the environment, the resources and the
resource users, affecting the sustainability.
Primary strategies and policies will have
to be sensitive to all the components
separately, yet complimenting each
other. This chapter is part of the studies
undertaken for the Belmont Forum
funded project titled `Global Learning
and Understanding for Local Solution’
(GULLS) to reduce the vulnerability of
marine-dependent coastal communities
in two marine fishing villages in Kerala,
southwest India by attempting to test a
climate resilient village adaptation and
mitigation plan (CReVAMP) for vulnerable
coastal communities with the
understanding that overall vulnerability
could be mitigated only by increasing
the adaptive capacity of the population.
Blue economy emerges as a commonly
acceptable development paradigm
which will effectively blend economic
growth with sustainable development.
Policies on adaptation need to consider
multiple scales of climate change effects.
Integrating adaptation and mitigation will
increase the local legitimacy of the plan,
as adaptation emphasizes on local needs.
