Annex 1. Map of the World’s 64 LMEs and Linked Watersheds Large Marine Ecosystems are areas of the oceans characterized by distinct bathymetry, hydrography, productivity, and trophic interactions. The annually produce 95 percent of the world’s fish catch. They are national and regional focal areas of a global effort to reduce the degradation of linked watersheds, coastal resources and environments from pollution, habitat loss, and over-fishing. Table 1. Countries where Marine Resource Ministries (fisheries, environment, finance) are supportive of resource assessment and management from an ecosystems perspective, and LME project planning and/or implementation is underway.
