Description:Climate change is significantly impacting marine fisheries around the globe, as well as the individuals and communities that depend on them. Changes in the distribution and abundance of species affect where and when fishers fish and what they catch. Recently, for example, fishery managers in Alaska canceled the snow crab season in the wake of a significant population decline. While the exact cause of the decline is not known at this time, warmer waters in the Bering Sea are likely a contributing factor.1 To account for these climatic changes, fishery managers need to integrate nimbleness and adaptability into both short- and long-term decision-making processes to create more responsive management regimes.
