Descripción
In January and February 2015, the research vessel Dr Fridtjof Nansen conducted a 29-day research cruise to map selected seamounts of the South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO) Convention Area. The cruise was a collaboration between SEAFO and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and supported by three projects: the EAF-Nansen project, the FAO-Norway Deep Sea fisheries project, and the ABNJ Deep Seas project under the FAO-led Common Oceans programme funded by the Global Environment Facility. This flyer depicts the preliminary results and how these were integrated into the management advice of the regional fishery managment body for the Southeast Atlantic (SEAFO), leading to the confirmation of existing and adoption of revised fisheries management measures aiming to protect certain areas of the ocean from significant adverse impact.
