A framework for vulnerability assessment of coastal fisheries ecosystems to climate change—Tool for understanding resilience of fisheries (VA–TURF)

Assessing Climate Change Impacts in the Lake Tana Sub-Basin, Ethiopia Using Livelihood Vulnerability Approach

“…Climate change is known to affect socioeconomic condition of a given area [36], hence, a socioeconomic survey was conducted at the household level of the LTSB: the upper and the lower sub-basins respectively. Subsequently, pre-tested structured questionnaires consisting of both open and close-ended questions were administered to the households within the LTSB, at the upper and lower sub-basins.…”

Ecological vulnerability indicators

“…Rather, ecological vulnerability assessment and the development of indicators thereof, whether done independent of the human system or within the SES, should be conducted at smaller scales and must be context-specific. Many of the studies cited in Table 1 and the recent work of Mamauag et al (2013) on the vulnerability assessment of coastal fisheries ecosystem to climate change using the SES framework are steps toward this direction.…”

“…In recent years, efforts have been made to develop vulnerability indicators within the social-ecological system (SES) framework (e.g., Abson et al, 2012;Brooks et al, 2005;Damm, 2010;Mamauag et al, 2013) following recognition that social and natural systems are integrally coupled and should therefore be both considered for * Present address: United Nations University, Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability (UNU-IAS), 5-53-70 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo 150-8925, Japan.

Evaluating management performance of marine protected area networks in the Philippines

“…Scoring rubrics are adaptable for use in other fields of study. They are now used to integrate social, ecological, and governance metrics and are used, for example, in assessment of governance (Fung, 2006) and vulnerability of fisheries to climate change (Mamauag et al, 2013). We tallied the results of the management assessment tools and perception surveys in the rubric to determine the overall management performance of networks.…”
