What are scenarios ?
• An internally consistent and plausible view of what the future
might be
• Not a forecast nor prediction but range of possible futures
Critical Uncertainties addressed
Tends to remove discussion of uncertainties

Why use scenarios?
•Static vulnerability assessment => “current vulnerability”
•Dynamic vulnerability and the multiple external drivers a system is/will be
exposed to (Belliveau et al., 2006) => “future vulnerability”

Why use scenarios ?
• Useful when addressing the considerable uncertainty about future
trajectories in complex systems
• Instruments of reflexivity and learning: “Thinking outside the box”
=> “Futures thinking for shifting thinking” (NZCER)
• To anticipate change so that plans are in place when they happen
• To design strategies
• The idea is to achieve “better” decision-making

Methods
•Expert elicitation to identify drivers of change in the past and in the
next 40 years in the fisheries sector
•„any natural- or human-induced factor that directly or indirectly
brings about change in fisheries and aquaculture production
systems‟ (see Hazell and Wood 2008)
•Stringent expert criteria (EPA), 38 surveys sent => 47% response
rate
•Experts from:
Research institutions:8
NGO‟s: 3
Industry: 2
International Organizations: 3
Government: 2
•Code book development

Methods
• Uncertainty: “inability to determine the true magnitude or form of
variables or characteristics of a system” (Mahmoud et al, 2009)
• How certain are you that a driver will occur (start to have an
impact) in 2050

Methods
•Modified Delphi approach =>
consensus on drivers
importance and level of
uncertainty
•Workshop in Lima March 2010
• 2 critical drivers identified (high
uncertainty and importance) to
form the scenario cross
•How drivers identified behave in
each scenario, narrative and
trajectory for each driver => the
storyline for 2050

Drivers of Change in the past and the future
•Differences:
Past: overcapacity, control and enforcement
Future: climate change, population growth
•Consumption, environmental awareness (behavioral change),
climate variability => changed ranking
•Why?
Progress in anchovy stock management (quotas, satellite
surveillance)
Greater understanding of ENSO and regime shifts
Role of demand and behaviors are considered important =>
shift from production/supply focused management
Climate Change gaining momentum in public/policy & scientific
arena

Scenario “Frito Pescadito”
• No investment in research, slow technological development and
innovation that does not allow design and implementation of
adaptation options
• Extreme events and floods => no aquaculture development
• Climate Change and extreme events impacting agriculture
combined with population growth
migration to coastal zones
Malthusian overfishing
• Loss of competitiveness. Free Trade Agreements with main
markets “do not save our exports, prices and production cannot be
maintained”
• Local market underdeveloped
• “Winners”: actors with short-term behaviour

Preliminary messages
•Education:
Fisherfolk , industry and youth
Public sector => capacity building in conflict management
•Climate change effects could be important but management and
legislation are the most important drivers
• Take into account population changes and migration
•“Change/Shift Visions”: from fisheries resources to marine
ecosystem and ecosystem services
•Market and certification according to clean/sustainable
technologies
•Importance of scientific research
![Page 19: Scenarios for the future: Drivers of change in the ... · partnership excellence growth Methods • Uncertainty: “inability to determine the true magnitude or form of variables](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022053118/609e5373b7ff0148cc6ac679/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Process or results?
• Strength:
• methods for strategic planning
• uncertainty should not be a reason
for inaction
• space for creative discussion
• => positive feedback from participants
• Weakness: expert bias, coding, short time
(1 day), improved in West Africa case study
• Contrasting „process‟ and „output‟
approaches of „science‟ and „management‟
(Allison 2002)
• Way forward:
“conversation” with a wider audience
