The symposium will explore the uptake of EAFM by the deep-sea RFMOs managing demersal and small pelagic finfish and shellfish species. It will introduce aspects of EAFM relevant to the dsRFMOs (see background document) and look at scientific (Day 1) and management (Day 2) considerations. The final day (Day 3) will work towards the development of guidance to dsRFMOs on their continued uptake of EAFM.

 

Programme

Each day will start with a keynote speaker who will also act as the Chair for the day. There are three individual 1½ hour panel sessions, each with a facilitator and three session speakers. There will be time set aside for discussion. We are hoping to have poster sessions. More details will follow.
