About the Seminar
In this presentation, Dr. Hendrix will discuss the challenges to managing ocean fisheries sustainably under climate change, and why some regional fisheries management organization (RFMOS) are more climate-resilient than others.
The challenges to sustainability have less to do with the nature and number of managed species and the marine geography and more to do with political institutional factors like the regime types and levels of development of member-states as well as histories of diplomatic tensions and past conflict. The research highlights practical paths forward for enhancing governance capacity to make ocean fisheries more sustainable and peace-promoting.
