Year: 2021
Type: article
Abstract: Linkage between natural resources, ecosystems and disaster resilience in changing climate is recognized fact. In India, fisheries sector is one of the major sources of livelihood and especially for those who are living in the coastal area contributing to around 0.91% to the total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the country. Fisheries has the prospects to meet many of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) viz., poverty, hunger and feed security; reconstruction management of inland water resources, ecosystem and biodiversity; economic growth, employment and decent work; consumption and production; etc. However, this sector is being challenged by climate change and disaster impacts such as cyclones, floods, droughts, tsunami, sea level rise, etc. As such appropriate mitigation strategy and adaptation measure is needed which will help in minimizing the negative impacts and increase the resilience of the fisheries sector. This paper enumerates the effect of changing climate in fisheries sector and delineates the mitigation and adaptation strategies towards resilient fisheries system and resources in a holistic framework.
