Strengthening adaptive capacity to climate change in the fisheries and aquaculture sector of Chile

The Project "Strengthening the adaptive capacity to climate change in the fisheries and aquaculture sector of Chile " is executed by the Undersecretariat of Fisheries and Aquaculture (SUBPESCA) and the Ministry of the Environment (MMA), and implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), with funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF).

The project’s objective is to reduce vulnerability and increase the adaptive capacity to climate change in Chile’s artisanal fisheries and small-scale aquaculture sector. The pilot project, which started in April 2017 and ends in June 2021, is implemented in four pilot coves: Caleta Riquelme, in the Tarapacá region; Caleta Tongoy, in the Coquimbo region; Caleta Coliumo, in the Biobío region; and Caleta El Manzano-Hualaihué, in the Los Lagos region.
