1 The role of the academic and research institutions in undertaking research and developing management strategies to address the climate change impacts on fisheries and associated coastal resources: Examples of some initiatives in the Philippines Michael D. Pido 1, Elvira A. Martija 2, Maripaz L Perez 3, Ruth S.Guzman 4, Elen R Basug 5 Len R Garces 3 and Teresita L Salva 1 1 Palawan State University, Puerto Princesa City, Philippines 2 Eastern Visayas State University, Leyte, Philippines 3 WorldFish Center, SEARCA Office, Laguna, Philippines 4 Rizal Technological University, Metro Manila, Philippines 5 Philippine Association of Tertiary Level Educational Institutions in Environmental Protection and Management

10 Documentation of coastal issues/ strategies about climate change

11 Climate variabilities in coastal areas unusual heavy rains typhoon direction shift increase in ocean temperature sea level rise Flooding Vulnerability of fisheries

12 Fisheries Impacts > frequency of harmful algal blooms coral bleaching resulted in decrease in fish catch from 30 tons/year to 26 tons/year.

25 Crucial role of academic and research institutions 1. Information dissemination - climate change as important cross-cutting issue 2. generate information about the relationship of climate change and fisheries/coastal management 3. provide science-based recommendations for local government units 4. Develop/undertake relevant measures

26 Seeing the Bigger Picture Coastal Ecosystem Goods and Services Erosion control Aesthetic beauty Coastal protection Fishery habitats Biodiversity Food Threats pollution Erosion/sedimentation Habitat destruction or conversion Over-harvesting of resources Climate change Sea level rise Uncontrolled development Negative impacts Greater poverty and hunger Loss of biodiversity Loss of use, non-use and option values Negative effects on employment and income More use conflicts
