12min FPP Namibia Documentary.
This Documentray shows that growing evidence suggests that Namibia’marine and coastal system and its line fish resource is experiencing significant climate variability and changes. Small-scale Line Fish angling and coastal communities living in the Hentiesbay region are thought particularly vulnerable to these climatic changes.
Furthermore, several existing social and economic pressures and risks related to small-scale fisheries are compounded by their location in coastal and ocean systems experiencing climate variability and climate change impacts.
The project ‘Enhancing Climate Change Resilience in the Benguela Current Fisheries System’ aims to assess vulnerability of small-scale fishing communities in Angola, Namibia and South Africa to the effects of climate change and support community-based adaptation. This is one of their projects.
Production Description

This 12min. documentary was produced by Namibian Jens Schneider in June 2019:
The BCC project ‘Enhancing Climate Change Resilience in the Benguela Current Fisheries System’ aims to assess vulnerability of small-scale fishing communities in Angola, Namibia and South Africa to the effects of climate change and based on that, support community-based adaptation projects.
While environmental stressors clearly affect Line Fish resources in Henties Bay and elsewhere in Namibia, a dedicated shift in mindset regarding the economic value of this scarce resource may secure further opportunities for long term sustainability.
