The FAO “Workshop on VME Processes and Practices” took place in Swakopmund, Namibia, from the 2 – 4 of March, 2015. The workshop mainly focused on the VME Processes and Practices publication that is intended to facilitate a better understanding of the extensive work that has been done in the different ocean regions on the management of VMEs to date. This publication will be a sister volume to the publication of a revised second edition of the Worldwide Review of Bottom Fisheries in the High Seas . Regional experts were invited to review the chapters of the VME P&P publication, and these experts convened at this workshop, along with the FAO unit coordinating the publication. The aim of the workshop was to: present and discuss the draft regional chapters; identify revisions required for each chapter; agree on an introductory chapter and a concluding chapter covering a global summary of VME actions taken to date; and agree on a plan of work for completing the drafts and a deadline for publ ishing the document. The workshop concluded with the identification of additional regional co-authors and reviewers, and a timeline for completing, reviewing, and publishing the VME P&P publication.
