Coastal societies depend on ocean resources and services, and while variability and uncertainty have shaped the adaptive capacities of coastal societies, global change intensifies pressures on coastal social-ecological systems. I will present regional dynamic models for forage fish such as sardine and anchovy, which represent some of the world’s most important and most variable fisheries resources, while playing key ecological roles. In the California Current (USA) and the Northern Humboldt Current (Peru), numerical models of these fish populations and food-webs have been developed that a) involve stakeholders in knowledge co-production and assessment of adaptation options, b) integrate output from ocean and plankton models, field and physiological data, and c) project future changes, quantify uncertainty and support development of fairer and more sustainable governance strategies for coastal resource systems.
