17. Suggested supporting policies
Strengthen governance of agriculture, forestry and mining practices to prevent soil loss and pollution, to safeguard fish habitats and water quality
Minimise barriers to migration of coastal and freshwater habitats
Promote mangrove replanting programmes
Apply ‘primary fisheries management’ to coastal fisheries to maintain their potential for replenishment

18. Suggested supporting policies
Restrict export of demersal fish to retain them for national food security
Increase access to tuna for the food security by reducing national allocations to industrial fleets
Capitalise on opportunities for freshwater pond aquaculture
Limit farming of Nile tilapia to catchments where tilapia species are already established, or there is a shortage of fish

19. Key investments Surveys of best sites for installing inshore FADs
Programmes to install and maintain FADs
Identify prime locations for peri-urban and rural pond aquaculture
Hatcheries and networks to deliver juveniles
Evaluate merits of micro-credit schemes to develop fisheries around FADs; expand pond aquaculture; and scale-up post-harvest processing

20. Conclusions
Win-win adaptations are available to reduce risks and capitalise on opportunities
Supporting policies and investments are needed
Integrate adaptations and policies and investments into national strategies and action plans for climate change, including community- based actions supported by partners
