• Description: Management procedures (MPs), also known as harvest strategies, are a critical tool for delivering transparent, science-based, and adaptive fisheries management. At the same time, the Agreement on Marine Biological Diversity of Areas beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ) is ushering in a new era of high seas governance, with important implications for how fisheries are managed beyond national waters. This webinar will explore the intersection of BBNJ and MPs, with a focus on the role of regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs) in advancing conservation and sustainable use objectives.
