Managing fish stocks in a rapidly changing climate is an ongoing challenge for fishery managers worldwide. Classic fisheries models recognize that production processes are dynamic but do not account for the long-term trends induced by climate change. Harvest strategies can help adaptively manage climate-vulnerable fish stocks by a) testing climate change scenarios (e.g., changes to stock productivity or natural mortality) in MSE to identify “climate-smart” harvest strategies and b) using the inherent adaptiveness and responsiveness of harvest strategies to quickly modify fishing levels in response to fluctuations in abundance as a result of climate change. For more insights on how harvest strategies can address the impacts of climate change, check out our webinar and blog, where experts delve into the intersection of fisheries management and climate resilience.
Watch the latest video from @spc_cps “Developing Harvest Strategies for Pacific Tuna Fisheries” series. It breaks down performance indicators through creative examples, making the topic accessible and memorable.

We attended a @iattc_ciat working group on mahi mahi in the Eastern Pacific Ocean last week! We discussed updating the stock assessment and an accompanying management strategy evaluation, and we're excited to see where this collaboration leads!
