Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems in the High Seas (ECOVAM)

The research group aims to generate solid scientific knowledge about the biodiversity and conservation status of Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) in the High Seas, including the analysis of overlaps, interactions, and impacts resulting from bottom fisheries and other human activities. Additionally, the goal is to integrate this knowledge into the advisory processes of Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) and other relevant national and international bodies, in order to promote sustainable and evidence-based management.
