Possible impacts of global climate change on artisanal fishers include changes in the current harvested fish stocks’ distribution and abundance. Global climate change may alter oceanic currents and, consequently, the physical environment experienced by fish. Not only would these changes affect fish at the individual level, but changes would also have population-level effects. For example, changing currents may affect larval dispersal, retention, and recruitment. Larvae may be passively transported to unfavorable areas, decreasing recruitment and, consequently, stock size.
