Chairperson: Edward Kennedy

Summary
Part I of a Maritimes Regional Peer Review of the Musquash Estuary Marine Protected Area (MPA) monitoring data, which focused on a data review, was held on January 29, 2013, at the St. Andrews Biological Station, in St. Andrews, New Brunswick. Participants reviewed and discussed the sampling methodologies, data collection, and data analyses used for determining ecological baseline values for the MPA. Participation in this meeting included representatives of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), Conservation Council of NB (CCNB), University of New Brunswick (Saint John), and the Huntsman Marine Science Centre. The results of this meeting will be used in Part II of the Peer Review in June 2013 to assess whether the monitoring activities in the MPA have provided an adequate ecological baseline upon which to base future monitoring activities and whether the indicators are likely to be effective in assessing ecosystem change.
