Background

About Vicky Lam

I dedicate myself to a broad range of fisheries related researches. One of my research interests is to focus on understanding the socio-economic impacts of global change on marine resources, fisheries and human well-beings. I have studied the extent of economics impact of climate change on global fisheries in terms of change in economic variables; and the socio-economic implication of the impacts of projected climate change and ocean acidification on marine resources in some regions, which are highly vulnerable to the change in climate, such as West Africa and the Arctic region. I am experienced in studying the vulnerability and adaptation of coastal countries, communities and fishers to global change. I am also interested in understanding spatial dynamic of fishing effort and how the change in fishers’ behavior would affect the harvest under climate change by using modeling approach. I also studied and analyzed the potential policies and measures for mitigating and adapting to these global changes. For my full publication list, please refer to & hl=en
