Learning from the past to inform adaptive fisheries management

How can the Philippines’ fishing sector cope with global challenges like climate change? Dr Danielle Robinson reflects on a workshop for future development with Rare Conservation Philippines.

Fishing is essential to the health and economy of the Philippines.

However, its fishing sector faces severe challenges from climate change, overfishing, unsuitable regulations and environmental decline.

Dr Robinson and Ankitha Manohar joined ‘The future of the Philippine fisheries sector in a changing environment’ workshop, which brought together experts, policymakers and conservation partners to discuss approaches to the issues.

In a medium blog, Dr Robinson reflects on the workshop, its discussions and findings that contribute to positive changes in the fishing sector.
