Aspects such as risks reduction, climate change knowledge, coping mechanisms, involvement in adaptation planning and access to credit are recommended to be considered because they provides synergy for climate change adaptation. It examines capture fisheries and aquaculture sensitivity and vulnerability to climate change, as well as instances of existing adaptation strategies at present. Overall these adaptation strategies are highly useful to maintain sustainable fisheries in future.
