Proceedings of the regional peer review of the recovery potential assessment of Threehorn Wartyback (Obliquaria reflexa) in Canada; December 10, 2013
Co-chairpersons: Lynn Bouvier and Todd Morris
Editor: Lynn Bouvier
Summary
A regional science peer-review meeting was held on December 10, 2013 in Burlington, Ontario. The purpose of the meeting was to assess the recovery potential of Threehorn Wartyback (Obliquaria reflexa) based on the 27 steps outlined in the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) National Frameworks. The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) has designated Threehorn Wartyback as Threatened (May 2013). The mussel currently is not listed on the Species at Risk Act (SARA) or the Ontario Endangered Species Act, 2007. The Science Advisory Report resulting from this Recovery Potential Assessment (RPA) will provide the information and scientific advice to inform the SARA listing decision. If listed, this scientific advice will also be needed to fulfill SARA requirements, including the development of a recovery strategy, and to support decision-making with regards to SARA agreements and permits. Meeting participants included experts from DFO. This proceedings report summarizes the relevant discussions from the peer-review meeting and presents revisions to be made to the associated research document.
The Proceedings, Science Advisory Report and Research Document resulting from this science advisory meeting are published on the DFO Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) website.
