Status of deep sea biological exploration in Indian ocean?
Up to what depth, deep sea studies on benthos carried out
Hello,
you need to be more specific about the region you are interested on. I don't know about the Indian EEZ. Within the SIOFA (Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement) Regulation Area, VMS data are being compiled. The creation of a database to produce SIOFA's fishing footprint is under construction and member states have different protocols for VME encounters. Beyond certain thresholds there is a move-on rule. No surveys have been carried out to investigate SIOFA VMEs, but some data might have been collected by Observer Programs of the member states.
Cheers,
Elena
This is very interesting articles. Brilliant, I would love to know the status of the EEZ in Tanzania
