Description:

"The objectives of this working paper are two-fold: 1) to provide an overview of available information on the characteristics and habitats associated with the southern Emperor-northern Hawaiian Ridge (SE-NHR), and 2) to discuss the most likely vulnerable marine ecosystem (VME) associated with these seamounts and suggest how we might address significant adverse (SAIs) impacts caused by fishing on the seamounts"--Introduction.
