The main points covered during the expert meeting included: introducing participants to OECMs; the initial application of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) criteria for OECMs to a set of case studies and fisheries-related measures identified during the webinar on Marine OECMs in the Mediterranean Region co-organized by FAO and GFCM on 14 December 2021; the compilation and discussion of main challenges related to the application of the criteria with initial recommendations on how to address them; an initial screening of eight case studies against the OECM criteria; agreement on next steps to undertake a more in-depth evaluation of the case studies presented for discussions during the GFCM sub-regional committee meetings; and the assessment of the implications, opportunities, and potential difficulties that arise from identifying fishery-related OECMs in the Mediterranean.
