Abstract
    This chapter provides an overview of the current and future consumption of seafood, with an emphasis on seafood security and inequality in a changing climate and growing population. It specifically examines climate change and other socio-environmental impacts on seafood availability, the role of capture fisheries and aquaculture in the future of aquatic foods, and the mechanisms for creating a more equitable and seafood-secure future. Acknowledging the interdependence of climate change and socio-environmental factors on food from the ocean, the chapter discusses critical issues that need to be addressed if we are to continue to harvest seafood that is sustainable, affordable, and available. Aspects of equity and the potential consequences of current and future strategies are discussed.
