Approaches used by other RFMOs and CCAMLR to avoid significant adverse impacts on Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems

    This paper provides context on the management of impacts of bottom fisheries on Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) by summarising the protocols and procedures used by other RFMOs and CCAMLR to avoid significant adverse impacts on VMEs. 

    The paper was presented at the 7th Meeting of the SPRFMO Scientific Committee. We thank Drs. Martin Cryer (New Zealand) and Marta Soeffker (United Kindom) for agreeing to share this paper with the SSC BF-ME.
