The IUCN Commission on Ecosystem Management (CEM) organized a Dialogue on Conservation Issues in the Marine Capture Fisheries Sector.
The debate, taking place online on 16/11, brought together experts from IUCN and the Secretariat of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, to increase understanding on the development and implementation of Other Effective area-based Conservation Measures (OECMs) in fisheries management, building on the work initiated following CBD Decision 14/8. The Dialogue also addressed the role of sustainable fisheries in the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework, currently under negotiations.
The event was moderated by Serge Garcia, FEG Chair, and saw the participation of Jake Rice, FEG Vice-Chair as expert.
