dc.descriptionA regional Workshop on Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) in the Indian Ocean took place in Flic en Flac, Mauritius, on 25‒27 July 2012. The workshop aimed to raise awareness and build capacity on vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs) and associated management issues in the Indian Ocean region. The Workshop discussed the VME concept within the framework of the FAO Deep-sea Guidelines and looked at examples of different management methodologies and options for VMEs and how these processes can be f acilitated. The global VME database, currently under development by FAO, was introduced, including how it can support the VME process in the Indian Ocean region. Furthermore, the workshop identified relevant existing sources of information on deep-sea fisheries and benthic ecosystems, and discussed confidentiality and data sharing issues. Finally, the future requirements and support mechanisms, including network of experts to support the VME process and collaborative arrangements for data sharin g, were discussed; as was how the upcoming FAO/Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (ABNJ) Deep-sea project could assist with this by working with States, other stakeholders and projects. This was particularly timely with the recent establishment of the South Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement.
