Project Summary
The project aims to strengthen the capacities of APEC economies to improve the management of fishing and aquaculture activities related to the changing ocean environment, such as navigation safety; disaster risk management; development of projections using scenarios that incorporate environmental and ecosystem shifts at fisheries management scales; fisheries and aquaculture health; monitoring of extreme events & decision making; and circular economy, through the exchange of best practices to guarantee the sustainability of these activities and ensure the well-being of communities.
The project will carry out: (i) a survey of fishing and aquaculture related to changing ocean environment in APEC economies; (ii) a 2-day workshop to exchange experiences, lessons learned, and related information; and (iii) a Cooperation Plan for interested APEC economies to strengthen management of fishing and aquaculture activities in the changing ocean environment in the areas of financing, development of adaptation projects/programs/portfolios, research, and capacity building. The project will be implemented over 10 months starting 2026 in Peru and will involve Chile; China; Chinese Taipei; Indonesia; New Zealand; Mexico; Papua New Guinea, Thailand and Viet Nam.
