FishMIP Initiative:
The report produced by the Ecosystem Model Intercomparison Project (FishMIP) projects that exploitable fish biomass declined more than 10 per cent, particularly under the high-emissions scenario, by mid-century for many regions of the world.
- Fisheries and Marine Ecosystem Model Intercomparison Project (FishMIP) was officially launched in 2013.
- It provides knowledge to industry and governments to support effective planning for adaptive and resilient seafood sectors under climate change.
- It has a network of more than 100 marine ecosystem modellers and researchers from around the world.
- The FishMIP and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) collaborated to understand the long-term impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems and fisheries through a set of state-of-the-art numerical models.
- In 2024, FishMIP 2.0 was established to increase the reliability of modelling projections and to answer a broader set of policy-related questions relevant to food security and marine resource management, with climate change remaining the overarching theme.
