The FiNHCC Research Project is an ongoing collaborative study investigating the impact of climate change on the health and well-being of Mexican fishing communities. The study examines both the quantitative analysis and forecast of seafood’s role in dietary intake and immune function while also incorporating qualitative insights from the experiences and knowledge of community members.

Through a One Health approach, we study how sustainability and conservation influence the health, emotional well-being, and identity of coastal fishing communities. This project is conducted in partnership with fishing cooperatives in Mexico, researchers, and visual media artists.

This international collaborative project explores the emotional and psychological dimensions of climate change in different populations. The IMPACT project unites more than 50 leading experts from academia, government agencies, and community organizations worldwide. Through transformative case studies, we’re pioneering the exploration of mental health resilience —embedding equity at the heart of every climate policy and decision.
One story we will explore is about communities reliant on marine environments. Through interviews, qualitative & quantitative methods, and participatory visual methods, the project will document resilience and stress responses in Mexican fishing communities.

This project takes a One Health approach to explore how changes in ecosystems are affecting people's health and well-being (and vice versa!). We'll be focusing on essential aspects such as nutrition, human physiology, and even emerging pathogens.
