Report of the vulnerability and capacity assessments in coastal and fishing communities in Saint Kitts y Nevis

This report presents the main findings and recommendations from a vulnerability and capacity assessment (VCA) of coastal and fishing communities in Saint Kitts and Nevis. The overall goal of the assessment was to improve understanding of local climate change impacts and vulnerabilities for effective adaptation in the fisheries sector. It utilised three tools: participatory photo‐journaling, semi‐ structured interviews and value chain analysis for data collection, and engaged a wide range of stakeholders to ensure a participatory process. Based on the assessment, a range of climate‐related hazards have begun to impact the communities, including: coastal erosion and flooding due to sea level rise, storms and storm surges; rainfall variability and extremes leading to inland flooding; and sargassum seaweed influxes. Adaptation actions were also identified to address these hazards. These included: building the adaptive capacity of fisherfolk; strengthening fisherfolk organisations such as co‐operatives; improving access to services and infrastructure; improving coordination among civil society and the public and private sectorto bettersupport communities; and protecting critical coastal and marine ecosystems that support fisheries and other economic sectors like tourism.
