The general objective is to develop a pilot project that establishes a methodology for self-diagnosis of the resilience of the SME producers and processors of the Ría de Arousa directly or indirectly linked to the Galician maritime-fishing sector.

• Identification of present and future stressors and impacts of climate change on the marine environment. To this end, two workshops will be held with primary producers (guilds, shellfish gatherers, fishermen and others) to learn about and identify the impacts of climate change that are affecting fisheries in the Ría de Arousa area.
• Prioritization of indicators in order of importance and grouping by dimension (economic, social, environmental and governance) to develop a SWOT analysis.
• Characterization of the vulnerability and resilience of SMEs through a three-step self-diagnostic tool: identification of their percentage of linkage with the maritime-fishing sector, identification of the repercussion of the stressors and impacts of climate change on them, and compilation of the adaptation measures to which each company can contribute within its sector.
• Preparation of a manual with information on the sector’s actions to address the identified impacts and stressors, sources of funding, potential collaborators, etc., as well as clear and defined objectives to prevent maladaptation.
• Final day to share the indicators defined, how they affect the different sectors and the importance of addressing the impacts of climate change, with the active participation of key players in the maritime-fishing sector of the Ría de Arousa.
