Southeast Asia is one of the world’s most vulnerable regions to climate change and thus, it is urgent to mitigate the impacts of climate change and build up adaptive capacity of the region in order to ensure longterm food security and sustainability. As a climate change hotspot, the Philippines had been ranked eighth among the countries most vulnerable to some of the worst manifestations of climate change. It is for this reason that the Philippine Government enacted the Philippine Climate Change Act of 2009 (RA 9729) providing for the creation of the Philippine Climate Change Commission which is tasked to formulate and implement plans for the country to better prepare for and respond to natural disasters. Although the impacts of climate change on the structure and the productivity of the marine ecosystems vary with the fishery, it could result in modifications of the distribution of the resources, the consequences of which could be very significant to the development of the region’s fisheries.
