WGLMEBP - Report of the Working Group on Large Marine Ecosystem Programme Best Practices

The ICES Working Group on Large Marine Ecosystem Programme Best Practices (WGLMEBP) met at IOC in Paris, 8–11 July 2014. The meeting format was changed from previous years and the WG met as an integral part of the wider 16th Consultative Committee Meeting on Large Marine Ecosystems and Coastal Partners. The agenda for the wider consultative LME meeting had a strong emphasis on governance practices and tools, networks, capacity development, and communication and outreach. There were four ToRs on the multi-annual program for the WG to consider this year.
