FCRR – Dynamic Integrated Marine Climate, Biodiversity, Fisheries, Aquaculture and Seafood Market Model (DIVERSE)
This report documents a newly developed model to project future pathways to seafood sustainability under global change.
Climate impacts on the ocean are making Sustainable Development Goals harder to achieve
In other words, climate change is not just an environmental problem, but one that inhibits our ability to tackle other social issues.

He was also named a UBC-Yale Fellow.
Global estimation of areas with suitable environmental conditions for mariculture species
The unprecedented growth of the aquaculture industry in recent decades, driven by increasing demand and consumption for seafood from a growing population, is reliant on the availability of suitable farming areas with adequate oceanic environmental parameters. Led by Muhammed Oyinlola, researchers at CORU have published a new study in the journal PLoS One that identifies the […]
1.5°C Paris Agreement target could net six million tonnes of fish annually
Meeting the Paris Agreement global warming target of 1.5°C will have large benefits to fisheries, finds a study published by CORU Leader William Cheung and Postdoctoral fellow Gabriel Reygondeau in Science. For every degree Celsius decrease in global warming, potential fish catches could increase by more than three million tonnes per year. Read More.
Biogeochemical regions of the Mediterranean Sea: an objective multidimensional and multivariate environmental approach
CORU Postdoctoral fellow Gabriel Reygondeau recently had the study “Biogeochemical regions of the Mediterranean Sea: an objective multidimensional and multivariate environmental approach” published in Progress in Oceanography. In the paper, a biogeochemical/ecological spatial framework was defined for ecosystems of the Mediterranean Sea. The authors show that the vertical dimension is crucial in such analysis since […]
Climate change could cause $10 billion in annual revenue loss to fisheries by 2050
Global fisheries could lose approximately $10 billion of annual revenues by 2050 if climate change continues at current rates, and countries most dependent on fisheries for food and livelihoods will feel more of the effects, finds new research published in Scientific Reports. Climate change impacts such as rising temperatures and changes in ocean salinity, acidity […]
