ships, marine tourism, food production, and net mend- 
ing. Climate model simulations are the best source for 
projections of future storminess in Icelandic waters and 
lay the baseline for further climate-related adaptation 
research in Icelandic fisheries. The model used in this 
study shows regional variations in wind speed projec- 
tions between the north and south of Iceland. Though 
this study focused on the Westfjords, future studies 
should focus on other northern regions of Iceland, 
which, based on our modeling findings, may be subject 
to more pressure from increased storm events. 
Additional future research should focus on climate 
models that address changes in the most extreme 
storms, changes in wind direction related to storms, 
changes in precipitation over land linked to storms, 
and understanding of the robustness of results across 
different climate models. 
Acknowledgments 
The authors thank the informants who took part in the inter- 
views for their time and knowledge. The SMHI-LENS simula- 
jjons with EC-Earth were performed on resources provided by 
:he Swedish National Infrastructure for Computing (SNIC) at 
:he National Supercomputer Centre at Linköping University 
(NSC). 
Human research participants 
:Iuman research ethics protocols were guided by funding 
agency (Nordforsk) standards. For the Icelandic research, the 
>roject was based at a governmental research institution 
‚Stefansson Arctic Institute) that does not have a specific 
;esearch review board. Therefore, guidelines for personal 
data protection were obtained from the Icelandic Data 
Protection Authority (Persönuvernd). According to the 
"celandic Data Protection Authority Act on Data Protection 
and the Processing of Personal Data (No. 90 of 27 June 2018), 
;esearch projects that use informed consent do not need to 
apply for ethics or data protection approval. Original

The informed consent process included informing the 
>otential participants about the goal of the project, the risks 
ınd benefits of being in the study, and the anonymous and 
voluntary nature of the study. Oral consent was obtained 
before the interviews, and participants had the opportunity 
Oo review preliminary data.
