Ten lessons on the resilience of the EU common fisheries policy towards climate change and fuel efficiency - A call for adaptive, flexible and well-informed fisheries management

Abstract: To effectively future-proof the management of the European Union fishing fleets we have explored a suite of case studies encompassing the northeast and tropical Atlantic, the Mediterranean, Baltic and Black Seas. This study shows that European Union (EU) fisheries are likely resilient to climate-driven short-term stresses, but may be negatively impacted by long-term trends in climate change. However, fisheries’ long-term stock resilience can be improved (and therefore be more resilient to increasing changes in… Show more

“…Therefore, strategic, climate‐smart spatial planning and management is needed to cope with the combined effects of anthropogenic stressors and climate change (Almpanidou et al, 2021; Doxa et al, 2022). The governance of fisheries in the era of climate change should support a flexible, adaptive, and well‐informed ecosystem‐based management aiming to face environmental change and provide long‐term yields with reduced risks of stock collapse (Bastardie et al, 2022).…”

“…We did not consider updating reference points in response to climate change, so long‐term scenarios lack a degree of management adaptation (e.g. a shift in response to these changes; Bastardie et al, 2022; Travers‐Trolet et al, 2020). Additional effects could arise through changes in the distribution of stocks that are not currently included in the model, like hake, either intensifying or relaxing choking situations for different fisheries (Baudron & Fernandes, 2015).…”

“…Integrating climate effects into fisheries management can provide necessary responsiveness to react to changes in productivity with the potential to allow sustainable harvesting even under negative effects of climate change (Bastardie et al, 2022). For North Sea cod, both mismanagement and climate change‐related factors were responsible for the current low productivity regime (Brander, 2018; Engelhard et al, 2014).…”

“…Such links between positive stock status and exploitation slightly below F MSY also mirror recent calls for MSY to be used as a limit, and not as a target, by fisheries managers (ICES, 2022a). In fact, this relationship is foundational to the concept of 'Pretty Good Yield' as proposed by Hilborn (2010) and others (Earle, 2021;Rindorf et al, 2017), and has even been extended in a multispecies context by Rindorf et al (2017) to account for stock effects on ecosystems, sustainability and socio-economic benefits (Bastardie et al, 2022).…”
