- Description: Management procedures (MPs) provide pre-agreed frameworks for fisheries management under uncertain conditions. Explicitly accounting for uncertainty is one of the main benefits of MPs, as they provide long-term, proactive, responsive management that can remain effective under changing conditions. However, even well-designed MPs cannot anticipate every possible future scenario. Rare or unforeseen events may fall outside of the conditions tested during MP evaluations. These situations are referred to as “exceptional circumstances” (ECs). This webinar will explore how regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs) have defined and responded to ECs in practice, including the role of EC protocols in identifying, reviewing, and adapting MPs when conditions exceed those originally tested.
