| Abstract | To understand the potential future impacts of climate change on marine fisheries science and management, it is useful to examine how and why management of fisheries for highly migratory fish species has or has not worked in the past, and whether we expect these trends to continue. Climate change will result in greater uncertainty in the projections of marine fish populations, and the structure of international fisheries management organizations will, to a great degree, determine their ability to adapt and effectively manage fish populations under their purview. I briefly describe the structure and function of national and international fisheries regulatory bodies and highlight several key structures that lead to effective management. I also examine the likelihood that effective governance structures can be applied to management bodies where they are currently lacking. Finally, I identify potential ways forward in instances where it seems unlikely to improve current management bodies. |
