Coastal SEES Collaborative Research: Climate change impacts on the sustainability of key fisheries of the California Current System

加州海岸外的这片区域支持着多产的商业和休闲渔业，如鱿鱼、沙丁鱼和龙虾，它们对人类文化、经济和生计都很重要。预计气候变化将改变海洋系统，并导致鱼类种群的变化，这将直接影响渔民的利润和行为，以及管理者在设定捕捞限制方面的行动。这项沿海see合作研究汇集了海洋学家、渔业科学家、经济学家和社会科学家，以更好地了解气候与沿海海洋系统、鱼类种群、渔民和渔业社区以及资源管理之间的相互作用。研究小组包括州和联邦的科学家，研究结果将与资源管理界共享。该项目将支持本科生、研究生和博士后科学家的跨学科培训，研究人员将参加一些公共宣传活动。这个沿海see项目汇集了一个由海洋学家、渔业科学家、经济学家和社会科学家组成的多元化团队，对气候对沿海渔业的影响形成新的、综合的认识。调查人员将研究气候变化如何改变捕鱼行为、收入、就业分配和生计能力。研究的重点是三种主要的商业捕捞物种，它们对环境变化有反应：太平洋沙丁鱼、加利福尼亚市场鱿鱼和加利福尼亚多刺龙虾。其中每一种都支持着一种经济上重要的渔业，并在海洋栖息地、纬度范围和反应时间尺度方面代表着一种不同类型的生物。该方法将包括全球气候模型预测、区域海洋模型、渔业模型、经济模型，以及管理情景和渔民行为的研究。目标将是根据预测的这三种渔业的生态、社会和经济结果，帮助制定未来气候情景下的可持续管理战略。

The area off the California coast supports productive commercial and recreational fisheries such as squid, sardine, and lobster that are important to human cultures, economies, and livelihoods. Climate change is expected to alter the oceanic system and contribute to changes in fish populations that will directly affect fishers' profits and behavior, as well as managers' actions in setting limits on harvest. This collaborative Coastal SEES study brings together oceanographers, fisheries scientists, economists, and social scientists to develop a better understanding of interactions among the climate and coastal ocean system, fish populations, fishers and fishing communities, and resource management. The research team includes state and federal scientists, and results will be shared with the resource management community. The project will support interdisciplinary training for undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral scientists, and the investigators will participate in a number of public outreach activities. This Coastal SEES project assembles a diverse team of oceanographers, fisheries scientists, economists, and social scientists to develop new, integrated understanding of climate effects on coastal fisheries. The investigators will examine how fishing behavior, income, jobs distribution, and livelihood viability will be altered by climate change. The focus is on three key commercially harvested species that are known to respond to environmental change: Pacific sardine, California market squid, and California spiny lobster. Each of these supports an economically important fishery and represents a different type of organism in terms of marine habitat, latitudinal range, and time scale of response. The approach will include global climate model projections, regional ocean modeling, fisheries modeling, economics modeling, plus studies of management scenarios and fisher behavior. The goal will be to help develop sustainable management strategies under future climate scenarios given predicted ecological, social, and economic outcomes for these three fisheries.
