The goal of a cross-FMP Climate and Communities Initiative is to consider, develop, and implement strategies for improving the flexibility and responsiveness of our management actions to near-term climate shift and long-term climate change, and strategies for increasing the resiliency of our managed stocks and fisheries to those changes. This approach should better support West Coast fishing communities that depend on marine fishery resources. 3

Consider strategies for: • improving the flexibility and responsiveness of our management actions to near-term climate shift and long-term climate change, and • increasing the resiliency of our managed stocks and fisheries to those changes. 6

Morrison and Termini, 2016, A Review of Potential Approaches for Managing Marine Fisheries in a Changing Climate : Chavez et al., 2017, Readying California Fisheries for Climate Treaty Tribes of Western Washington, 2016, Climate Change and Change : Our Natural Resources , on marine essential fish habitat: • monitoring stocks and the system to be more aware of climate variability and its effects, • manage fisheries to build ecological and social resilience • consider protections for fish nursery grounds • improving the status and structure of managed stocks so that • manage fisheries to increase adaptability and support • ask whether existing closed-area boundaries still apply to the those stocks are more resilient to change, including tailoring transitions species, stocks, and habitats they were intended to protect harvest control rules more closely to the environmental regime • strengthen forecasting • ask whether there may be West Coast marine habitat features for species where linkages have been identified, or • expand crossboundary coordination on fisheries management that are particularly vulnerable to climate change • increasing flexibility and adaptability in fisheries management programs so that the fishing industry can be more flexible and adaptable to change. 7

• support scenario planning • diagnose FMP readiness for management measures that Supplemental aid adaptation to a changing Report climate, and • identify decision processes and associated analyses where climate information should be incorporated into fisheries management. 13
