  • Ecosystem modelling to support fisheries management efforts in the Nyali-Mombasa area, coastal Kenya

    This research addresses how to best develop sustainable, effective fisheries decisions, while preserving the livelihoods of fishers and their dependents

  • William Cheung awarded E.W.R. Steacie Memorial Fellowship

    Steacie Fellowships recognize early-stage academic researchers and to support them to enhance their research capacity as they become leaders in their field and inspire others.

  • Management of exploited transboundary fish stocks requires international cooperation

    With an average catch of 48 million tonnes per year, and USD $77 billion in annual fishing revenue, transboundary species support critical fisheries, and require international cooperation to manage.

  • Impact of climate change on tropical fisheries would create ripples across the world

    Tropical oceans and fisheries are threatened by climate change, generating impacts that will affect the sustainable development of both local economies and communities, and regions outside the tropics.

  • Return of ‘the Blob’ could intensify climate change impacts on Northeast Pacific fisheries

    A large marine heatwave would double the rate of the climate change impacts on fisheries species in the northeast Pacific by 2050

The Changing Ocean Research Unit studies the effects of global climate and ocean changes on marine ecosystems, biodiversity and fisheries. Led by Dr. William Cheung, the Unit assesses the biophysical and socio-economic vulnerabilities and impacts of marine climate change, and identifies mitigation and adaptation options.
