Abstract
Climate change (CC) and global heating are creating a set of causes which will lead to consequences for inland waters and marine aquaculture and fisheries. Those consequences will therefore need to be addressed through a set of management measures. In addition, climate change may also bring about opportunities for these industries, not least as a means of adapting to the changes. These opportunities will also need to be addressed through management measures. Given the complexity of these interactions then there is the need for defining and refining conceptual frameworks to give a logical and widely accepted means of tackling the challenges. The causes, consequences and responses need to involve consideration of the natural, social, economic, engineering and governance aspects. Most importantly, for the solutions to be rooted in the applied and industrial spheres and for them to be sustainable and successful, then they need to be derived by stakeholders.
