Climate-Resilient Fisheries Questionnaire
jacobeurich
Do you in marine fisheries? We invite you to participate in an online questionnaire about climate resilience in marine fisheries! Anyone with experience with or participation in a marine fishery can take part.
This questionnaire is part of a research project ‘Advancing Climate-Resilient Marine Fisheries during the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development’, funded by the Lenfest Ocean Program and conducted by researchers at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute and Environmental Defense Fund, on behalf of FishSCORE2030.
We are seeking your responses for a fishery you know about to contribute insights about (1) the types and nature of climate hazards and impacts currently occurring and expected to occur in the future in different marine fisheries around the world; (2) features and responses that support climate resilience, examining how this may differ by fishery, location and context; (3) information use in fishery decisions, to examine how different types of knowledge and information are (or can be) used to progress decision-making regarding climate resilience in fisheries systems.
The questionnaire should take 30-40 minutes to complete. More information about the study, participation, and storage of your data is included in the consent form in the questionnaire weblink.
We welcome participation from as many types of fisheries and contexts as possible — please feel free to share this email and questionnaire with your own networks! If you would like more information about the project or the questionnaire, please contact FishSCORE2030 coordinating member and Climate Resilience member Jacob Eurich (jeu...@edf.org).
Thank you for considering this opportunity. We look forward to hearing from you!
Best,
Jacob
