How can the insurance sector adapt its products and risk assessment frameworks to account for the increasing frequency and severity of climate-driven events (e.g., marine heatwaves, storms, disease outbreaks), and what innovative insurance models could support the long-term resilience of fishers and aquaculture producers?

Are there any examples of ‘opportunities’ that have emerged because of climate-driven changes? How have these been managed to maximise the benefits?

What are some examples from around the world of the aquaculture sector adapting to climate change?

Now that the water is getting warmer, will the kingfish season in Tassie get longer? And will there be more of them?
