In this section of TRAVEL CHANNEL NAMIBIA we demonstrate the vulnerabilites of communites to the effects of environmental stressors and based on that, support community-based adaptation initiatives toward climate resilience.
While environmental stressors clearly affect Line Fish resources in Henties Bay and elsewhere in Namibia, a dedicated shift in mindset regarding the economic value of this scarce resource may secure further opportunities for long term sustainability.

FISHING FOR A FUTURE
This 12min. Climate Mitigation documentary was produced by Namibian Jens Schneider in June 2019: The BCC project ‘Enhancing Climate Change Resilience in the Benguela Current Fisheries System’ aims to assess vulnerability of small-scale fishing communities in Angola, Namibia and South Africa to the effects of climate change and based on that, support community-based adaptation projects. While environmental stressors clearly affect Line Fish resources in Henties Bay and elsewhere in Namibia, a dedicated shift in mindset regarding the economic value of this scarce resource may secure further opportunities for long term sustainability.
