This document is the final deliverable under a project titled “Conduct of Fishery-Related Ecological and Socio-Economic Assessments of the Impacts of Climate Change and Variability and Development of an Associated Monitoring System”. The Project aimed to improve availability and use of information for “climate-smart” planning and management in the fisheries and aquaculture sector in the Caribbean. Although the project yielded data, knowledge products and insights applicable to the entire region, project research and stakeholder engagement activities centered on the six countries with national PPCR programs: The Commonwealth of Dominica, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG). Despite a growing understanding of potential impacts of climate change, progress towards fisheries-sector adaptation in the Caribbean region to date has been constrained by a lack of region-specific data and practical guidance. This project built a foundation of data, monitoring frameworks, adaptation strategies, policy recommendations, and communication tools to support a regional climate change response.
