With 3.3 billion people reliant on fisheries, humanity’s relationship with the sea has shaped our history, our successes and failures, and will shape our future. Under shifting climatic conditions, fisheries are expected to change, testing our abilities to adapt to these changes. Understanding shifts in fisheries, exploring new and creative management possibilities, and assessing how these changes will impact those most reliant on the industry are imperative to ensuring the future of sustainable fisheries. I intend to utilize projected changes in fisheries to assist relevant stakeholders in assessing risk, anticipating socio-economic impacts, and making informed decisions regarding their livelihoods.
