The world’s oceans are experiencing significant changes due to climate impacts affecting marine ecosystems and fisheries. The Fisheries and Marine Ecosystem Model Intercomparison Project (FishMIP) was launched in 2013 to develop standardised projections of how climate change and fishing activities will impact ocean life and benefits for people. This review highlights FishMIP’s contributions over the past 10 years and outlines how FishMIP has improved climate-impact modeling in the ocean and informed various policy areas such as setting climate targets, managing fisheries, food security, and conserving marine environments. The next 10 years will see the improved FishMIP ensemble model pushing the boundaries of the field and increasing policy-relevant outputs.
