Recent studies predict strong negative impacts of climate change on NES's agriculture   . NES concentrates the bulk of the predicted loss of regional gross domestic product  associated with agriculture in Brazil . Although agriculture makes a modest contribution to the region's economy, its drop could have a severe impact on the poorest rural household by shrinking the agricultural labour market and increasing food prices . The expected increase in dryness is also predicted to impact the region's hydroelectric power generation . SLR has also been reported to impact coastal cities such as Salvador, destroying urban constructions . SLR, increased ocean temperature and acidification may also negatively impact NES's shrimp aquaculture production  . Along with climate change, overfishing has driven exploited marine fish species to collapse .
