"Fishers’ Perceptions and Attitudes toward Weather and Climate Information Services for Climate Change Adaptation in Senegal"^^ . "Climate variability has become a major issue for vital sectors in the context of climate\r\nchange. In fisheries, in particular, the effects of climate change are reflected in the decline of fishing\r\nyield and loss of lives during extreme weather events in the sea. This study analyzed the perception of\r\nclimate variability and change by fisher-folks, the attitude of fisher-folks toward the weather forecast\r\nand the adoption rate of the use of the weather forecast as well as the factors determining its use in\r\nSenegal. To this end, 576 fisher-folks belonging to 41 local fishing committees along the coastal areas\r\nwere surveyed and focus group discussions were organized with key informants. The adoption rate\r\nwas identified using the method of the average treatment effect (ATE) and the test of independency\r\n(chi-square) was used to analyze the perceptions of and beliefs on climate change. The results\r\nshowed that 96% of fisher-folks perceive the change in the climate, though the effects are differently\r\nappreciated across the coastline. The most frequently observed effects are: coastal erosion, change in\r\nwind direction, increase in extreme swells and sea level rise. Nearly half of fisher-folks confirm\r\nthat they noticed these changes over the past five years. In the Southern Coast in particular, 40% of\r\nfisher-folks stated that these changes happened 10 years ago. This statement is confirmed by the\r\nqualitative data. More than 90% of the respondents ascertain the weather forecast before going to\r\nfish, 63% regularly receive the weather forecast and 53% avoid going to sea during extreme events.\r\nIn addition, the results showed that if the weather forecast was made accessible to the majority of\r\nfisher-folks, more than 83% would avoid going to sea during periods of extreme weather extreme\r\nevents, thus reducing significantly the number of fatalities. The best way to protect the fisher-folks\r\nfrom the harmful effects of climate change is to ensure large-scale access to and use of accurate\r\nweather forecasts."^^ . "2020-11" . . . "12" .
