Chairperson: Geoffrey T. Evans
Editor: K.R. Skanes
Summary
A meeting of the Newfoundland and Labrador Regional Advisory Process (RAP) on American Lobster (Homarus americanus) was held January 15 – 16, 2009 in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. Its purpose was to assess lobster stocks in Lobster Fishing Areas (LFAs) 3 – 14 that surround the island of Newfoundland. A presentation was made by an Oceans biologist on studies in Eastport where there are two Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and a presentation was made by a Food Fisheries & Allied Workers (FFAW) representative on a survey of the feelings of fisher people on fishery performance compared to other years.
A Science Advisory Report (SAR) was written and reviewed in meetings from January 19 – January 21, 2009. It includes overall summary bullets reviewed and written at the RAP meeting. This proceedings report includes an abstract and summary of discussion for working papers and presentations discussed during the RAP, progress on research recommendations from the 2006 RAP and a list of research recommendations from this RAP.
Additional information on the 2009 assessment of Newfoundland and Labrador lobster stocks is available in the Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) research document series and SAR.
