Climate change adaptation

This document gathers possible adaptation measures and good practices that can be applied at both administrative and farm levels to make the European aquaculture sector more resilient to climate-related changes. Its principal objective is to support authorities and policymakers in Member States and the aquaculture sector in creating and updating CAPs for aquaculture. To that end, it presents the effects (both negative and positive) that climate change can have on EU aquaculture. It also describes a detailed process for developing a CAP and provides examples of good practices for several climate adaptation measures. Finally, it details some of the existing knowledge gaps and policy recommendations to adapt to climate change.
