Salmon farming vulnerability to climate change in southern Chile: understanding the biophysical, socioeconomic and governance links

Submitted by NENRE Concepcion on

Here we describe an assessment of climate-change vulnerability for the salmon farming sector in southern Chile using a model that combines semi-quantitative measures of Exposure (risks), Sensitivity (economic and social dependence), and Adaptation Capacity (measures that prevent and mitigate impacts).  The evaluation was carried out in 8 pilot communes representative of salmon production (marine grow-out).
