Limits to resilience from livelihood diversification and social capital in lake social-ecological systems
Type: Journal Article
Diversity of both social networks and livelihood sources plays a central role in determining the sustainability of natural resource use and resilience of social–ecological systems, not least in resource-dependent economies. ...
Diverse pathways for climate resilience in marine fishery systems
Type: Journal Article
Both the ecological and social dimensions of fisheries are being affected by climate change. As a result, policymakers, managers, scientists and fishing communities are seeking guidance on how to holistically build resilience ...
Enhancing the resilience of inland fisheries and aquaculture systems to climate change
Type: Journal Article
Some of the most important inland fisheries in the World are found in semi-arid regions. Production systems and livelihoods in arid and semi-arid areas are at risk from future climate variability and change; their fisheries ...
Vulnerability of national economies to the impacts of climate change on fisheries
Type: Journal Article
Anthropogenic global warming has significantly influenced physical and biological processes at global and regional scales. The observed and anticipated changes in global climate present significant opportunities and ...
Climate change, tropical fisheries and prospects for sustainable development
Type: Journal Article
Tropical fisheries substantially contribute to the well-being of societies in both the tropics and the extratropics, the latter through ‘telecoupling’ — linkages between distant human–natural systems. Tropical marine ...
