IntroductionThe global warming has considerably changed the overall climate of the world. Changesin other sector of the ecosystem brought climatic change in the marine ecosystem. It has directimpact on the economy of North West Spain affecting the tourism and the fishery industry of thecountry. Identification of the change, affects and the policies taken by the government and thebusinesses to tackle with the threat is proposed in the following essay. Effects of Climate Change in Marine EcosystemThe global warming has led to the inclination in the temperature by 1.1 and 2.2ºC thatresulted in decreasing the stream flow rate 13% and 29% respectively (Garza-Gil et al. 2011). Onthe other hand, a downfall of 25% in rainfall is also evidenced which also facilitates in thedecrease in the stream flow (Garza-Gil et al. 2011). The current of the ocean has considerablychanged due to low rainfall which resulted in increasing the temperature. The global warming isalso altering the carbon, nitrogen and CO2 level in the water (Chang et al. 2016; Arias et al.2014). Zooplankton, phytoplankton, fish, algae and many more system in residing in the oceanare facing considerable threat due to the change. Their sensitivity and stability is being affectedwhich is resulting in extinction of these species.Impact on Tourism business On the other hand, the tourists’ density depends on several factors that include theclimatic factors like temperature, sun and rain. Again, the tourism can be divided into domesticand international tourism. The tourists have considerably developed their consideration forvisiting the coastal areas. The visible change occurred due to the climatic change in the coastalarea and the change in the sea water. The main attraction in the scenario is the beaches of the
spot. The increased water temperature created a suitable environment for the tourists. This can beconsidered as the primary reason for increased overnight stay by the tourists. Moreover, thenumber of non regulated income is getting higher than the regulated one. This changes theeconomic scenario of the country. The number of foreign tourist has also increased andrepresents. It means that the income from the foreign travelers has increased in a considerablelevel which was a considerable source of income of the country (Garza-Gil et al. 2011).Effect on Country’s fisherySpain’s anchovy fishery is one of the main economic activities of the population that isfacing threat due to the marine ecosystem changes. The pelage species is rapidly losing thenumber. It is considered as a threat for the North West Spain as it has high commercial value.Significant modification in the number of anchovy biomass level brought a significant change inthe situation of their fishery. Until recently, there was no regulation imposed on the fishing.Taking into account the recent development in the marine ecosystem, has lead to impose aprecautionary TAC in 2005 by Bay of Biscay. Spanish government and regional governmenthave imposed various regulations in input and output for a number of species due to theirdeclination of the number. This resulted into downfall of the fishery business from 2005 and therecruitment is closed for uncertain period of time. The temporary ban on fishery was imposed on2000 for the poor stock recruitment. In 2010, it was reopen with a TAC of 7000 ton of harvest.The control rules set by the government on anchovy are still under development and thepermission of fishing is still uncertain. For the purpose of this regulation is to increase thedensity of the species and to decrease the changes of extinction (Garza-Gil et al. 2011).
