This submission highlights adaptation and mitigation options in fisheries and aquaculture, as part of a portfolio of nature-based solutions, focussing on how ecosystem-based management approaches for marine resource management provides multiple benefits: fostering participatory approaches and including dependent communities in adaptation planning and decision-making; restoring and/or preserving ecosystems that sustain aquatic food production; ensuring food security, poverty alleviation and employment and therefore resilience of dependent communities; and developing consumer-led solutions that promote underutilized resources and reduce food loss and waste; as well as promoting low-carbon solutions.
