  • Selective breeding programs, such as CGIAR's Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia initiative, show how science can shape efforts to build sustainable aquaculture for small island communities.

The article from Devex, sponsored by the Asian Development Bank, discusses the importance of supporting climate-resilient aquaculture in the Pacific and beyond. It highlights the vulnerability of Pacific Island countries to climate change impacts, such as rising sea levels and increasing ocean temperatures, which threaten food security and livelihoods dependent on fisheries and aquaculture. The article emphasizes the need for sustainable aquaculture practices that can adapt to these changing conditions, mentioning the Asian Development Bank's initiatives like the Pacific Region Ocean Accounts and the Pacific Ocean Finance Program, which aim to enhance data collection, promote sustainable practices, and secure financing for climate-resilient aquaculture. It also underscores the importance of collaboration among governments, development partners, and local communities to build resilience and ensure the long-term sustainability of aquaculture in the region.
