Aquatic or also known as blue food is a cornerstone of many coastal and inland communities, supporting the health and livelihoods of billions of people worldwide. Yet climate change threatens how much blue food wild fisheries and aquaculture can supply. In a warming world, there are multiple hazards: marine fisheries, for instance, must contend with shifting species distributions, shellfish production with ocean acidification, and inland fisheries with prolonged droughts that limit freshwater availability. By undermining production capacity, climate change compromises blue food’s contributions to economic and food security—a risk that has never been fully accounted for, until now.
This video highlights the dimensions where people stand to lose blue food benefits in a changing climate, and how that risk might be reduced.
