These Proceedings include the Report of, and the background papers prepared for, the Workshop on Climate Change Implications for Fisheries of the Benguela Current Region: Making the Best of Change. Presentation topics included: the regional biophysical features and decadal trends in the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem (BCLME); national contexts of climate variability and change and fisheries; and a vulnerability assessment of the region's fisheries. Discussions largely focused on: aspects of developing a methodology for vulnerability assessment; definition of vulnerability in a fisheries context; potential climate change impacts on, and vulnerability levels of, the different fisheries in the region; and potential short- and medium-term adaptation actions. The Workshop recommended that a regional programme be developed with the aim of reducing vulnerability and increasing adaptive capacity of the social-ecological fisheries systems of the BCLME, primarily focusing on: establishing/improving national and regional interagency collaboration and communication to facilitate responses and action in relation to climate change; developing a holistic and coherent methodology for vulnerability assessment of fisheries; developing and implementing pilot projects to develop and test anticipatory and responsive actions, providing for lesson learning/sharing and improvements.
