Today sees the launch of a new website for vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs). It is the fruit of collaboration between FAO, regional fisheries management organizations or arrangements (RFMO/As), other multi-lateral bodies, and individuals from national fisheries departments.
The VME website, including a Portal and the VME DataBase, gives users prompt access to information on measures taken by RFMO/As to protect VMEs in areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ).
