This project will integrate scientific and traditional knowledge on climate change into fisheries adaptation policies and management frameworks in Lagos State, Nigeria.
In Lagos State, current climate resilience and adaptation policies do not consider available knowledge on the climate impacts on fisheries. Yet, as the state prepares to review existing policies and frameworks, there is an opportunity to deliver and embed such knowledge into Lagos State’s broader climate strategy.
This project will fund experts from Lagos State University to:
- Identify key stressors affecting fishing community livelihoods;
- Engage fishing community members to develop climate resilient fisheries strategies; and
- Co-produce actionable recommendations.
This project was funded in February 2026 as part of the 2025 Climate Resilient Fisheries Engagement Grants.
