Abstract: Climate change impacts on the ocean increasingly challenge coastal communities’ livelihoods, food security, cultural heritage, health, and well-being. While these impacts are unfolding in real time for small-scale fisheries (SSF) in the Global South, research examining the human health dimensions of these climate-induced disruptions is nascent. Therefore, we documented diverse experiences of climate change impacts on marine ecosystems, characterized climate-socio-ecological factors that shape health and wellbeing, and identified barriers and enablers of health-related climate change adaptation in Mexican fishing communities.
