In addition, a number of presentations addressed the ecosystem approach, economic implications, and the strategies being employed by various nations to adapt fisheries and aquaculture to the impacts of climate change. There was also an emphasis on adaptation strategies in both developed and developing nations, including an assessment of their respective vulnerability to adapting to climate change impacts. A follow-up session dealt with the political economy of adapting fisheries to climate change with views from the large-scale fishing industry, NGO's and policy makers. Finally, a Panel Session with active involvement of the Workshop participants brought together key findings and insights, with a view to developing key considerations for policy makers.
