This EAFM symposium is directed to assisting the management of deep-sea fisheries, especially for demersal and small pelagic species. This is undertaken by flag states through regional organisations with the mandate to manage these species.
The symposium will also be relevant to other organisations and individuals with interests in the sustainable management of fishery resources and in reducing impacts from fishing in the high seas.
