Over the coming century, climate change is predicted to dramatically alter our oceans through ocean acidification, warming temperatures, altered ocean currents, and other changes. These changes will impact marine species and the food webs that support local and global fisheries. In parallel, human societies and the activities they pursue are projected to change dramatically. Population growth, rising gas prices, technology, and globalized economic markets will all affect the spatial and temporal patterns of fishing, the species they target, and the ways in which the social benefits of fisheries are distributed. How do these factors - social and ecological - work in concert and affect each other in a warming and souring ocean? In this session, we invite contributions that address the impacts of climate and societal trends on the future status of fish and fisheries, particularly those that address important feedbacks and coupling between social and ecological systems. We are particularly interested in work that addresses the ecological changes expected from climate change, the social changes over the next 50-100 years that will transform fisheries, and the ways in which social interactions can mitigate or amplify the effects of climate change. Will growing populations and warming waters drive large-scale fisheries declines or open new opportunities? What are the costs of these transitions and how to we plan for them? How do markets and societies deal with changing food webs and shifting ranges? How do we design individual incentives to facilitate adaptation to climate change? We anticipate that these approaches will be both theoretical and empirical, and we also hope to discuss pro-active approaches to manage fisheries and marine ecosystems in the face of these transformations.
