Could you please give me an example of coastal community, particularly fishers, adaptation to climate change?
In the regard of adaptation, evolutionary process takes long time, and you are talking about adaptation in human (as you said fishers). For such kind of example i can suggest you that you can check the change in the schedule of livelihood of the fisher men in the coastal region, because they prefer more to go for fishing in night time apart form the evening and morning. But most important question is that which coast line... equator, tropical or else..?
The WD_-NACE project has been looking at coastal adaptation in communities, the wrap up meeting is at the end of September in London. Have a look at the links below on weADAPT

But of course... the Community role is very crucial.
I'm sending you 2 relevant attachments... there are more, but the load is too much !!
