Description:
Over 300 million people around the world depend on the oceans for their livelihoods, and over three billion people rely on oceans for food security. But oceans are in an era of upheaval, propelled by climate change, overfishing, coastal development, pollution and other stresses. The Stanford Center for Ocean Solutions (COS) is creating the innovations needed to sustain ocean health in the face of these threats – translating insights from research into solutions at scale for oceans and people. Our work in the area of climate change ranges from assessing the risk that climate change poses to fisheries and aquaculture systems and their benefits to coastal communities, evaluating the impacts of adaptation options on nutrition and livelihoods, and offering pathways to integrate sustainable blue foods into national climate strategies.
