In 2019, @UN_FAO_GFCM adopted measures to protect vulnerable marine ecosystems ( #VMEs) formed by threatened #corals to avoid devastation by #trawling gear

Oceana proposes ‘ #VME priority zones’ in all #Mediterranean subregions (western, central, Adriatic and eastern) and to start pilot projects to provide advice & develop protection measures for them. Read our factsheet https://bit.ly/2XTOCLC ">https://bit.ly/2XTOCLC&q... #corals
