- Description
- This report identifies countries that are most highly exposed to natural hazards, are highly dependent on the fisheries sector and have limited societal abilities to respond and adapt to the impacts of natural hazards and resulting disasters in order to determine the relative vulnerabilities of fisheries in these economies to the impacts of disasters. It defines the concept of vulnerability, identifies the frequency and mortality of natural disasters by country, determines adaptive capacity and vulnerability by country with recommendations for future research in this area. This report was published by the FAO in 2013.
