\"\"There many different types of area-based fisheries management measures being used that have the potential to qualify as Other Effective Area-Based Conservation Measures (OECMs) in \u00a0the Western Indian Ocean region. During the Nairobi Convention Science to Policy Meeting in Maputo Mozambique on\u00a0 5th \u2013 7th December 2023, the importance and role of fisheries-related OECMs was highlighted. Several science and policy recommendations were made including the need to identify the extent of existing area-based management measures (other than MPAs), which could potentially be recognized as OECMs, and assess what their socio-ecological impacts would be. At the regional level, knowledge exchange, technical assistance, and replication of best practices are recommended.<\/div>\n

To assist regional countries in advancing dialogue on OECMs in the SWIO region, FAO is collaborating with WIOMSA to support knowledge exchange and stakeholder discussion on OECMs, as well as to propose regional initiatives to support the identification and reporting of potential OECMs for fisheries.<\/p>\n
