Thirty-six representatives from local government units (LGUs), universities, development partners, and NGOs in the Philippines and Timor-Leste tested a software designed to help them visualize vulnerabilities of fisheries to climate change impacts. The Coral Triangle Initiative Map-Enhanced Decision Support (CTI-MEDS) project organized the workshop from 29-30 April at ADB Headquarters in Manila.
The computer-based software, which is called CTI-MEDS, is made up of two platforms - a scoring facility and a mapping and adaptation strategies facility. It was developed by Mr. Reniel Cabral of the University of the Philippines Marie Science Institute (UP-MSI) and colleagues. The software uses the framework of the Tool for Understanding Resilience of Fisheries or TURF.
