Chairperson: Marilyn Joyce
Summary
A Regional Advisory Process (RAP) was held to review analytical approaches developed to explore hypothetical scenarios related to disposal at sea of dredged sediment material, evaluate the contaminant risks of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) associated with possible disposal practices on Resident Killer Whale populations (Northern and Southern) and their habitat, and facilitate the development of risk management practices and protocols
Participation in this meeting included Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Science, Habitat Management and Aquatic Management Sectors and external participants from the Provincial Government, non-governmental organizations, academia and professional consultants.
