Replication Data for: Timing and magnitude of climate driven range shifts in transboundary fish stocks challenge their management

By 2030, global EEZs are projected to experience an average change of 59% in catch proportion of transboundary stocks. Many countries that are highly dependent on fisheries for livelihood and food security emerge as hotspots for transboundary shifts. These hotspots are characterized by early shifts in the distribution of an important number of transboundary stocks.

Existing international fisheries agreements need to be assessed for their capacity to address the social-ecological implications of climate change driven transboundary shifts and strengthened where necessary to limit potential conflict between the parties of interest. Meanwhile, new agreements will need to be anticipatory and consider these concerns and their associated uncertainties to be resilient to global change.
