Making Maldivian fisheries climate-ready

This project aims to address the urgent need for proactive measures to safeguard the socio-economic sustainability of these fishing communities by gathering insights into the evolving conditions for fisherfolks, identifying policy gaps, and developing policy recommendations.

This will be achieved by:

  • Documenting the experiences of fisherfolks in two regions to understand climate impacts on fisheries.
  • Reviewing national laws and fisheries management plans to identify gaps in current policies.
  • Producing policy recommendations for integrating climate resilience into fisheries management interventions.
  • Creating a film documentary highlighting climate change impacts on Maldivian fisherfolks.
  • Convening meetings with policy-makers to share findings and advocate for policy changes.
