Assessing and enhancing ecosystem services provided by diadromous fish in a climate change context

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Atlantic Area

Date of latest update: 2023-03-02

Description

Description (EN):

Diadromous fish (shads, lampreys, eel, salmon, trout & mullet) are migratory, moving between fresh and marine waters. Through their journey, they provide ecosystem services (e.g. income, food, recreation) to local communities but few quantitative estimations exist. These services could be threatened by climate change due to spatial reallocation of fish and related benefits. DiadES aims to assess and enhance ecosystem services provided by diadromous fish in the Atlantic Area, and in parallel, the conservation status of these species, by explicitly considering in their management expected impacts of climate change on their distributions. DiadES will positively impact diadromous fish management in the face of global climate change by improving awareness and knowledge on the services provided by these species and the need to set common management measures targeting both anthropogenic pressures & climate change; favouring a joint promotion of ecosystem services related to diadromous fish in the Atlantic Area to the wider public; ensuring a sustainable ecosystem services provision by these species, combining exploitation & conservation, in support of Atlantic Area local economies and quality of life.

Description (PT):

As atividades humanas e as alterações climáticas constituem uma ameaça para os peixes diádromos. A sua distribuição na região do Atlântico está a mudar, causando novas interações socioeconómicas e ecológicas neste território. O projeto DiadES visa reforçar os serviços ecossistémicos relevantes para estes recursos transnacionais, estabelecendo regras comuns para a gestão de peixes diádromos nas condições climáticas atuais e futuras e promovendo uma maior cooperação regional para a conservação e exploração destas espécies.

Description (FR):

Les poissons migrateurs amphihalins sont menacés par les activités humaines et le changement climatique. Leur distribution atlantique change, engendrant de nouvelles interactions socio-économiques entre les territoires. DiadES améliorera les services écosystémiques associés à cette ressource transnationale en établissant des règles communes de gestion des migrateurs sous conditions climatiques présentes et futures, et en favorisant la coopération régionale pour leur conservation et exploitation.

Achievements (EN):

Diadromous species (e.g. shads, lampreys, eel, salmon, and mullet) suffer a continuous decline across their Atlantic distribution, causing ecological and socioeconomic impacts on local communities. Despite significant conservation efforts, the situation remains critical because the management of these shared and migratory resources is mostly organised at the local scale, not considering interconnections between river basins. Additionally, these species are vulnerable to climate change. Therefore, a shift in their distributions would render their management an even more complex problem. In consequence, a transnational approach is needed to enable common management for the conservation and enhancement of the ecosystem services associated with these species in the Atlantic Area that includes the explicit long-term and large-scale issues related to climate change. To achieve this goal, DiadES aims to create innovative and collaborative tools to ignite transnational management under present and future climatic conditions. Since 2019, the project partners are working to increase the capacity of policy makers and other key stakeholders to make efficient and informed management decisions. DiadES is finalising the development of an Interactive Web Atlas to present changes in diadromous species distributions and trends in relevant ecosystem services under climate change, promoting emerging benefits provided by these species. A Serious Game is almost ready to bring together target groups to imagine alternative management strategies in a globally changing environment. Policy guidelines will then be formalised for a large-scale and long-term management of diadromous species, in the form of a Parliament Magazine article to reach European deputies about this critical biodiversity issue. "For three years, DiadES has demonstrated the intensity of the transnational cooperation between researchers in natural sciences and environmental economists and the increasing engagement of related managers. DiadES 29 partners 14 regions (PT, ES, FR, IE, UK) Thanks to DiadES, the people working on the ground with diadromous species in the rivers of Gipuzkoa have been able to exchange experiences and knowledge with other stakeholders from all over the Atlantic Area. I am sure that the contacts they have made will be the basis for future collaborations”. Estibaliz Diaz AZTI, Head of Sustainable Fisheries Management for ICES species.

Expected Results (EN):

DiadES will positively impact diadromous fish management in the face of global climate change by: • Fostering the necessary level of cooperation among Member States (MS) & actors involved in diadromous fish management to enable sound decision-making; • Improving awareness and knowledge among policy makers and other key stakeholders on the services provided by these species and the need to set common management measures targeting both anthropogenic pressures & climate change; • Favouring a joint promotion of ecosystem services related to diadromous fish in the AA to the wider public because they influence decision-making; • Ensuring a sustainable ecosystem services provision by these species, combining exploitation & conservation, in support of AA local economies and quality of life.

Expected Outputs (EN):

Three main outputs will be produced to increase the capacity of policy makers and other stakeholders to make efficient and informed management decisions and support them in the implementation of related policies on diadromous fish. • An Interactive Web Atlas will present changes in diadromous fish distributions and trends in relevant ecosystem services under climate change, promoting benefits provided by these species. • A Serious Game, of a role-playing form, will consist in bringing together target groups who have different sources of knowledge to (i) share this different knowledge, (ii) build a joint representation of fish population dynamics and (iii) imagine alternative management strategies in the face of climate change. • The Policy Guidelines for the long-term management of diadromous fish and the maintenance of the ecosystem services and economic welfare they produce in the AA.
