The regional body charged with finding solutions to ensure the long-term sustainability of the fishing industry has warned about the impact of climate change.The Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM), in a statement yesterday, said that climate change will affect not only the fish and their habitats, but also industry performance and all the human, social and economic benefits derived from this.CRFM’s?Trinidad-born?Deputy Director,Cheap Jerseys Outlet, Dr Susan Singh-Renton said that “The direct,NFL Jerseys Wholesale, more immediate impacts that we can expect to see are deterioration in the quality of the marine habitats and accompanying declines in local marine resources through effects on their production and availability.”The official made it clear that there will be ripple-on impacts for industry livelihoods and the contribution of fresh fish in meeting the region’s food and nutrition security demands.? She added: “The tourism industry will also take a big hit, as the typical Caribbean vacation will offer poorer sand and sea recreational activities.”Singh-Renton disclosed that Caribbean marine life is being threatened throughout the range of supporting habitats.“Sea grass beds,?mangrove swamps,Cheap Jerseys USA, coral reefs and the open ocean will face changed conditions, affecting sea life in both nursery grounds and adult living areas.”The coral reefs are also being affected by ocean acidification,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, increased sea temperatures that are known to cause coral bleaching,Authentic Jerseys Cheap, excessive sedimentation from land-based sources usually through flooding.Dr Singh-Renton emphasized that the region’s coral reefs are described as among “the ‘richest ecosystems on earth’, and should be carefully monitored and conserved.”Other factors which have the potential to affect Caribbean fisheries include changes to ocean current patterns, which influence the migration patterns of larger fish, and riverine inputs, which provide much needed nutrients to local fish stocks.? Dr. Singh-Renton noted that riverine inputs of nutrients are also at risk from climate change,NFL Jerseys China, which can alter the flow and volume of riverine material in coastal waters.
