Session
6. Marine spatial planning and risk management in the context of climate
change: The living ocean and coast under changing climate
Co-Convenors: Adriaan Rijnsdorp (IMARES, The Netherlands)
Christian Möllmann (University of Hamburg, Germany)
Invited Speaker:
John K. Pinnegar (Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science, Lowestoft Laboratory, UK)
Climate change will impact marine ecosystems and their habitats in various ways. Effects will include changed
distribution and productivity of marine organisms, connectivity and adaptability of populations as well as overall
biodiversity. The different climate-induced changes will have implications for the spatial management of our
living resources and marine ecosystems. Especially migratory fish stocks move between management units
leading to conflicts between resource users. Hence their dynamics will become more uncertain under climate
change, and conservation objectives have to be re-defined or adapted. This session aims to discuss how climate
change may affect the human activities on the sea and explore how society can adapt its policies and uses of the
marine ecosystem.
