Abstract

Climate change is significantly impacting Vietnam’s small-scale fisheries, threatening marine capture, aquaculture, and aquatic ecosystems, while exacerbating gender inequality within the sector. This case study provides a comprehensive analysis of these challenges and offered practical solutions. It reviews national and local policies, highlighting proactive measures and strategic plans designed to enhance resilience and adaptation for the small-scale fisheries in Vietnam. Emphasizing community participation and co-management practices, the case study presents a pathway to sustainable fisheries in the face of these climate change impacts. Through a detailed case study in Tam Tien commune, Nui Thanh District, Quang Nam Province, the report shows the specific challenges faced by local fishing communities due to extreme weather events and potential cli- mate risks. It assesses their adaptive capacities, socio-economic conditions, and the roles of various stakeholders, showcasing community-driven initiatives to protect marine resources and sustain community livelihoods. By implementing the strategies outlined in this case study, small-scale fishing communities can potentially restore and protect their ecosystems, improve resource management, and strengthen policy support for resilient and sustainable fisheries, ensuring secure livelihoods for fishers and promoting gender equality within the sector.
