8. Basis for new proposal Purpose of vulnerability assessment
Determine how plans to manage fisheries resources for economic development, food security and livelihoods could be affected by climate change
Identify adaptations to minimise the risks and maximise the opportunities

9. Coastal fisheries activities/investments
Assist countries to develop nearshore FAD managment programmes
Determine whether FADs help build resilience of coral reefs to climate change
Training in safe and effective FAD-fishing methods
Post-harvest processing/storage of tuna
‘Win-win’ adaptation

10. Oceanic fisheries activities/investments
Tissue bank
SEAPODYM
Spatial structure of tuna stocks
Develop and enhance ecosytem modelling tools (e.g. SEAPODYM)
Effects of ocean acidification on larvae of tuna and tuna-like spp
Climate smart fleets - collection of accoustic data to inform SEAPODYM
Tagging for stock assessments and measuring interactions with nearshore fisheries
2035

11. Monitoring for adaptive management
How well do the investments work?
Examples for food secuity
Assess catches made around nearshore FADs using Tails
Measure amount of small tuna and bycatch offloaded by purse-seine fleets
Establish and update amount of tuna used for domestic consumption

12. Next steps Finalise full list of project activities/ investments
Identify which activities are needed most in which countries
Consult with regional GCF representatives to refine project
Prepare Concept proposal with National Designated Authorities
