Climate Change Adaptation Year Two Activities

internationally as well. An important part of this value chain is also looking at the wood used for smoking and drying the product. Conversations with some fish smokers indicate that wood is becoming harder to find and more expensive to obtain. As this activity involves cross border trade as well, this work will likely include a regional consultant working with a local Gambian consultant to assemble all the pieces of the value chain. • Validation workshop on Catfish. Once the PRAs and value chain are completed, a validation workshop with stakeholders will be held and subsequent to this workshop, both reports finalized. This information base will set the stage for management planning activities and value chain improvements projected in Year3.

3.5 Climate Change Adaptation

WWF Lead: Soumare CRC Lead: Tobey Cooperating Partners: NA Regional Workshop: Climate change impacts present additional challenges for fisheries management — to the ecosystem, coastal communities and fisheries infrastructure. Studies of the WAMER predict that changes in climate will drive changes in the migration and abundance of commercially important fish species, and affect fishing 35 communities, landing sites, and critical estuarine ecosystems. Consideration of climate change is part of the underpinning of an ecosystems-based approach to fisheries management. In Year 2, the project with WWF-WAMER will convene a regional workshop with a focus on building awareness of climate change issues in fisheries and MPAs and strategies for incorporating these issues into fisheries and marine conservation decision-making. The workshop will be held in Senegal tentatively in both French and English, and invite several representatives from each of the seven countries of the Commission Sous-Régionale des Pêches CSRP that includes Cape Verde, Gambia, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Mauritania, Senegal, and Sierra Leone.
