This policy brief discusses adapting aquaculture practices in coastal Bangladesh to climate change in order to support poor farming households. National policies do not explicitly address climate change impacts. Projections include sea level rise, increased flooding and salinity, higher temperatures, and more extreme weather. These changes threaten aquaculture infrastructure and productivity but some adaptations like raising pond dikes and stocking larger fish have helped households increase production and profits. The brief recommends mainstreaming climate change adaptation into national planning, building capacity, promoting sustainable technologies, and empowering local organizations to support livelihoods under climate change.

This document discusses the risks and vulnerabilities of fisheries and aquaculture to climate change, and ways to build resilience. Over 500 million livelihoods depend on fisheries and aquatic foods provide nutrition for 4 billion people. Climate change is causing impacts like changes in ocean currents and acidification that affect production, ecology, and communities. Examples of adaptation include diversifying livelihoods, flexible management policies, and risk reduction. Mitigation opportunities include carbon storage in oceans, renewable energy from oceans, and reducing emissions from aquatic food systems and transport. The document provides an overview of climate impacts and outlines both adaptation and mitigation approaches for building resilience in fisheries and aquaculture.
Environmental impact of agriculture
Agriculture has significant environmental impacts including climate change effects on crop yields, deforestation, genetic engineering issues, irrigation problems, water and soil pollution from pesticides and fertilizers, soil degradation, plastic waste, and loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services. Sustainable practices like organic farming, conservation tillage, and reducing excess nitrogen and phosphorus use can help minimize these impacts, but may result in lower food production. Overall agriculture involves difficult tradeoffs between high yields and environmental protection that require modifying current practices.

The document summarizes the results of a life-cycle assessment (LCA) comparing the environmental impacts of different salmon fishing and farming systems in the Northeast Pacific. The LCA found that for farmed salmon, feed production is the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. It also found that alternative farming systems may address some local ecological issues but contribute more to global challenges like climate change. For fishing, fuel use while fishing contributes most to impacts. The location of production also influences impacts due to differences in electricity sources and transport distances.
Climate change and fisheries
Many fishers and aquaculturists are poor and ill-prepared to adapt to change, making them vulnerable to impacts on fish resources. Nature of the climate change threat. Fisheries and aquaculture are threatened by changes in temperature and, in freshwater ecosystems, precipitation. Storms may become more frequent and extreme, imperilling habitats, stocks, infrastructure and livelihoods.
International Year of Soils
Soils are facing major threats from issues like land degradation, climate change, and food insecurity. Soil health is essential for addressing these interconnected problems and supporting life. Healthy soils provide nutrients, filter water, regulate climate, and support biodiversity. Improving soil health through practices like crop rotations, cover crops, reducing tillage, and organic matter addition can help mitigate these issues. An International Year of Soils would promote understanding of soils' importance and finding solutions to the global challenges negatively impacting this vital resource.
Climate Change: Implications for Fisheries and Aquaculture

Global Soil Biodiversity: Status, gaps and way forward Ms Monica Kobayashi, FAO
This webinar aims to discuss the global status, gaps and multiple benefits of soil biodiversity as a key contributor in sustaining life in this planet.
Sustainability of Aquaculture in Bangladesh
Aquaculture is an important sector for Bangladesh's economy and food production, accounting for 5% of GDP and 6% of exports. However, many existing aquaculture practices are unsustainable, as they have led to environmental degradation like destruction of mangroves and wetlands for pond construction, soil acidification, and salinization of land and water. They have also negatively impacted livelihoods by reducing access to resources for local communities. Truly sustainable aquaculture requires practices that do not significantly disrupt ecosystems, are economically viable, and contribute to social well-being. Improving feed sources, closed containment systems, native species selection, and community inclusion can help make aquaculture more environmentally friendly and equitable.
The Quadruple Squeeze – Meeting the dual challenge of development and sustain...
The document discusses the dual challenge of meeting development goals while staying within planetary boundaries. It notes that 850 million people are malnourished, 1.1 billion live in poverty, and many depend on ecosystem services threatened by global change. Agriculture is key to development but increased yields could impact nutrient cycles, pollution, land use, and water availability. Tradeoffs and synergies between development and sustainability must be assessed across scales, criteria, and sectors to identify opportunities while remaining within critical environmental thresholds.
Food and Agriculture and Environment Lec 11
The document discusses the relationship between food supply, agriculture, and the environment. It notes that the modern food problem is driven by population growth and inadequate distribution systems. Historically, world food production has increased through expanding agricultural land and boosting yields per unit area. However, agriculture impacts the environment through issues like soil erosion, water degradation, and pollution. Sustainable agricultural practices are needed to feed more people while minimizing environmental costs.
Physiochemical characteristic of water of
This document summarizes some key physicochemical parameters of water including physical parameters like depth, temperature, turbidity, and light penetration. It discusses how these parameters like depth and turbidity affect water temperature, light penetration, and productivity. It also discusses important chemical parameters like dissolved oxygen, free carbon dioxide, and alkalinity. It explains how dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide levels are influenced by aquatic photosynthesis and respiration. All in all, it provides an overview of several important physicochemical characteristics of water and how they impact aquatic life.
Impact of Climate Change on the marine fisheries of Bangladesh
- Bangladesh has a long coastline along the Bay of Bengal where fisheries play an important role in the economy and food supply. Climate change is expected to significantly impact fisheries in Bangladesh through rising temperatures, sea levels, and increased extreme weather events.
- Key impacts include changes in habitat, migration patterns, and distribution and abundance of fish species. This could damage livelihoods and food security as people rely on fisheries. Specific species like Hilsa may see declining inland catches as conditions change.
- Coastal areas are highly vulnerable to sea level rise, stronger storms, and salinity intrusion into farmland. This threatens livelihoods, infrastructure, and Sundarbans mangroves which would have casc
Indonesia’s Ocean Agenda for Blue Carbon
Indonesia is fighting on two fronts to protect its oceans and combat climate change. As 80% of the Earth is covered in water and 90% of life exists in the oceans, Indonesia recognizes its role as the "Amazon of the Oceans" due to its extensive coastal ecosystems. It has three main programs: 1) Indonesia's Ocean Agenda to maintain marine biodiversity and sustainability, 2) Combatting Marine Debris, and 3) Coastal Ecosystem Resilience to address climate change impacts. Through partnerships and legal frameworks, Indonesia aims to conserve its oceans, seas and coastal resources to support sustainable blue growth and development.

Blue Carbon – MMAF Experiences
The document summarizes Indonesia's Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries' (MMAF) efforts to restore coastal ecosystems through mangrove planting and other initiatives. It notes that coastal degradation is occurring faster than restoration and coastal restoration is a top priority. The MMAF has planted millions of mangroves since 2015 and supports local communities' restoration efforts. It is shifting its focus to restoring sediment and implementing natural and hybrid engineering approaches. The MMAF is working to develop policies and involve communities and multiple levels of government in restoration projects.
Converging Insecurities
Climate change, water scarcity, rising energy costs, and increasing global food demand are converging threats that must be addressed together through integrated solutions. Agricultural systems need to use resources like climate, water, energy, and nutrients more efficiently while transitioning to renewable energy and sustainable practices. Long-term food security in Timor-Leste requires building agricultural knowledge and capacity, strengthening legal frameworks, conducting environmental research, and considering these interconnected issues now to determine future success.

Shahab Naghdi presented on the links between seafood and human health in the context of global change. Seafood plays an important role in food security and nutrition for coastal regions, providing almost a quarter of the animal protein consumed in poor countries and being the main source of animal protein for 3 billion people. However, overfishing, aquaculture, and climate change are challenging these links. Global warming can benefit some fish species but also enable harmful algal blooms. Ocean acidification and changes in river runoff from climate change can also impact fish health. Recommendations include promoting underutilized fish, alternative omega-3 sources, and better fisheries management.
KN-5 Johann Pacific marine fisheries
Fisheries are extremely important for Pacific Island countries, providing food security and livelihoods as well as significant government revenue. Climate change threatens fisheries through increased coral bleaching and reduced fish production. Adaptations are needed to minimize future gaps between fish supply and demand from population growth. Adaptations include conserving habitats, sustaining fish stocks, and providing for migration of fish habitats. Nearshore fish aggregating devices could help fill gaps by assisting communities to catch migratory tuna. National adaptation plans for Pacific Island countries should promote effective co-management and integrated planning across sectors to avoid maladaptation and fill knowledge gaps regarding tropical tuna.

Environmental and social impacts of water projects_Pradeep Kumar (NWA)_2011
Water resource projects are needed to meet the growing demands of India's increasing population for food, industry, domestic use, and power. However, they can negatively impact the environment and communities. Key impacts include the displacement of people and loss of livelihoods during construction. Forests and wildlife habitats are also affected. During operation, positive impacts are irrigation for agriculture and increased aquatic life, but negative impacts include waterlogging and changes to natural ecosystems. Project developers aim to manage these impacts through measures like compensatory forestation, relocation of affected communities and wildlife, and management of water usage.
Madar Samad's Presentation
Asia faces major challenges in ensuring sufficient water resources to meet growing demands for food, as population increases and climate change impacts water availability. Promising adaptation strategies include improving water storage, reforming irrigation systems, increasing water and crop productivity, expanding policies to support rainfed agriculture, and implementing institutional and policy reforms to better manage limited water resources. Comprehensive assessments of agricultural water management that consider the full spectrum of water sources are needed to adapt to a changing environment.

Amazonia: The Security Agenda (ASA)
The document summarizes research on threats to water security in the Amazon basin from climate change and land use change. It finds that land use change may negatively impact water quality more than quantity by 2050. Climate change is projected to significantly reduce rainfall and increase water stress in the basin by 2050 and 2080. This could undermine food production, energy generation and health. The document recommends establishing protected zones to safeguard water security, a regional platform to monitor securities, and incorporating securities into national planning.

FIL Outreach workshop presentation 7: Short video production and outreach
This document discusses using short videos on social media to disseminate information about aquaculture production and value chains in Bangladesh. It describes the process of identifying technologies used by innovative farmers through surveys, filming the farmers demonstrating practices, editing the videos, adding subtitles and publishing them on Facebook and YouTube. The videos covered topics like the impacts of climate change, low-cost irrigation, sludge removal, integrated farming systems, and youth employment. The goal is to more actively promote new technologies that could diffuse more quickly if shared this way.
FIL Outreach workshop presentation 6: Detecting Aquaculture Waterbodies in Ba...
This document evaluates methods for detecting aquaculture waterbodies in southern Bangladesh using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and multispectral data. It finds that ensembles of SAR and multispectral data improved water detection rates over individual methods. Shape indices and SAR backscatter data helped differentiate waterbodies. However, the study was limited by 10m spatial resolution and vegetation interference, which affected segmentation of small or irregular waterbodies. Overall, the best methods achieved water detection rates up to 87% in districts, though prediction performance was lower due to segmentation limitations.
FIL Outreach workshop presentation 5: Fish trader and feed trader survey results
The document summarizes the results of surveys of fish traders and feed traders in southwest Bangladesh. It finds that most fish markets are privately owned and located in urban areas, and have access to basic facilities like electricity, ice, and roads for transporting fish. The number of fish and feed traders has increased significantly in the last decade. Fish trading deals mostly in carp, while feed trading sells floating feed pellets. Both fish and feed trading were profitable businesses but were negatively impacted by reduced demand during COVID-19, with traders reporting lower sales and incomes.
FIL Outreach workshop presentation 3: Introduction to Survey Methods
- The document summarizes survey methods used in 2014 and 2020 to study the aquaculture value chain in Bangladesh.
- In 2014, a stacked value chain survey covered 20 districts and interviewed over 3,000 actors including 1,540 farmers, hatcheries, traders, and input providers using purposive stratified random sampling.
- In 2020, the survey focused on 7 districts in South and Southwestern Bangladesh, updating the 2014 panel and randomly selecting replacements. It developed censuses and randomly surveyed over 1,000 individuals across farm households, traders, and input traders.
FIL Outreach workshop presentation 4.FIL Farm survey results
This document summarizes the results of a survey of 721 aquatic farms in Bangladesh. It finds that farms produce a diverse mix of fish, shrimp, and prawn, with fish being the dominant crop. Integrated crop and aquatic farming is also common. The survey found high levels of disease, especially impacting shrimp farms. It also found that farms were highly exposed to extreme weather like flooding. COVID-19 negatively impacted production, though fish farms were less affected. Overall, the systems were found to be profitable and resilient despite challenges due to their diverse and adaptable nature.
FIL Outreach workshop presentation 2
The document summarizes results from a combined survey and remote sensing study of aquaculture farms in seven districts in Bangladesh. It finds that:
1) Machine learning estimates of total farm area were similar to government statistics, and calculated average production values, incomes, feed use, and jobs per hectare to estimate totals for the districts.
2) The study estimated a total value of aquaculture production of $1.45 billion USD and farm profits of $670 million USD across the seven districts.
3) The results reveal the potential of combining remote sensing, machine learning, and representative surveys to estimate a wide range of sector statistics, though some estimates differed from government reports.
FIL Outreach workshop Presentation 1
This document provides an overview of the "Harnessing Machine Learning to Estimate Aquaculture Production and Value Chain Performance in Bangladesh" project. The project was funded by USAID Innovation Lab for Fish and implemented from April 2020 to September 2022 by Michigan State University, BAU, WorldFish, and CIAT. The project aimed to survey aquaculture farmers, fish traders, and suppliers; use machine learning on remote sensing images combined with survey data to estimate economic impacts; and build capacity through extension videos. Key components included surveying 1100 participants, using machine learning to analyze remote sensing data, and disseminating short extension videos on social media.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
