FishVool: Equipping Philippine fisheries to manage hazard effects of climate change

Abstract

The Philippines, having one of the longest coastlines in the world and a hub of marine biodiversity, is abundant in fishery resources. However, this also makes the country highly vulnerable to climate change affecting millions of Filipinos who rely on fishing for food and livelihoods. Stressors related to climate change, such as sea-level rise, increasing temperature, extreme weather events, and ocean acidification, have resulted in dwindling fish supply over the years.
