This article dives into the description of how fisheries are being exposed to stressors, which is an environmental condition or event that causes organisms to stress. These stressors include deadly diseases, poor governing, and most importantly overfishing. Even with these stressors are becoming more of an issue, they are however allowing scientists to learn from them and figure out solutions to build and organize capacity to adopt. One suggestion mentioned was that the climate change is the supposed consequence toward theses stressors on fisheries. To do further studies, three coastal communities located in the Ghana Western Region were examined to get an insight of how multiple stressors in those areas affected those fisheries. As the results show, stressors that are climate-related are better understanding compared to those that weren’t climate-related.

The Indonesian government is facing issues relating to their seafood production. Indonesia is the world’s second largest seafood producer. Nonetheless, Indonesia’s fisheries landings have been ceased for the last decade or so. The Indonesian government is now searching for ways to expand their aquaculture sector, hopefully, up to 2030. With the usage of Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA), the government were able to develop ten aquaculture farming systems. As a result, however, future scenarios have predicted that more wild fish and land will be required than what Indonesia has to offer and yet these requirements still won’t satisfy the Indonesia’s needs. For a solution, it was proposed to avoid extensive environmental damages.
