Overview
Shared Principles for Fishery Allocations Under Climate Change
Project Lead: Melissa Errend
Northern Economics worked with Environmental Defense Fund to interview fishery stakeholders from around the country and convene a subset of fishing interests to develop a shared set of principles for informing allocation decisions under climate change. In addition, Northern Economics worked to develop semi-quantitative scenarios as discussion tools, developed an indicator of allocation complexity, and created a hot spot analysis of where allocation challenges might occur under climate change.
