In responding to the Challenges and Oppurtunities topic in this discussion.
One of the main implementation challenges in dealing with securing sustainable small-scale fisheries is : The Management of Small -Scale fisheries due to climate change and its implications on food security.
The MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) outlined a list of predictions as to how further worsening of climate change affects fisheries. Among these the most highlighted was the rising of sea temperatures which causes a reduction on the number of fish available to fishers and the relocation of fish.This affects communities locally, regionally and globally.
As a result of this poverty rates increase because fish stock is scarcely available to sustain small scale fisher families, in turn reducing their consumption. This mainly affects developing countries whose poverty rates are already high due to the lack of other resurces available to the population and other countries where large percentages of the population depends solely upon fish.
An example in which this was the main implementation challenge was a Case Study done on Slomon Islands on Food Security versus Environment Conservation with small scale fisheries.
