Long abstract

Alam Lubna, Mazlin Bin Mokhtar, and Ussif Rashid Sumaila detail the effects of climate change on fisheries and aquaculture. This case study, focused on Malaysia, characterizes the shift from constraining human actors to harmonizing human needs with maintaining functional marine ecosystems. Small-scale fisheries provide 90% of the jobs in fisheries and half the protein for human consumption. As wild-capture fisheries have continued to decline, aquaculture has been on the rise to meet the nutritional demands of a growing human population. This combination of enterprises is occurring globally, but as this case study shows, the way forward must be shaped by the history, culture, and governance approaches appropriate for each country.
