Summary
A Meeting of the Newfoundland and Labrador Regional Advisory Process (RAP) was held 26-29 March 2008 in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. A full assessment of the stock status of Northern (2J3KL) cod was carried out based on questions posed in the Terms of Reference (ToR) provided by the Fisheries and Aquaculture Management Branch of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). Participants included DFO staff from Science (regional as well as Ottawa), Fisheries and Aquaculture Management, and Policy and Economics branches, representatives of the fishing industry – both harvesters and members of the Fish, Food and Allied Workers (FFAW) union, the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and scientists from Memorial University. The meeting rapporteur was D.B. Atkinson.
These Proceedings contain abstracts of PowerPoint presentations and working papers as well as summaries of the related discussions. Also included as appendices are the ToR, draft agenda, a list of participants, a list of all PowerPoint presentations and working papers available during the meeting, progress that has been made regarding previous research recommendations, the research recommendations arising from this RAP and a list of those presentations and working papers recommended for upgrade to research documents. The Proceedings do not necessarily follow the chronological order of discussions but instead are organized to match the flow of the draft agenda.
Additional information on the 2008 assessment of 2J3KL cod is available in the CSAS research document series and Science Advisory Report.
