Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the National Marine Mammal Peer Review Committee (NMMPRC); October 20-23, 2015
Chairperson: Don Bowen
Editor: Christine Abraham
Summary
The National Marine Mammal Peer Review Committee (NMMPRC) holds at least one annual face-to-face meeting to conduct scientific peer-review of marine mammal issues. This approach provides the opportunity to bring together experts on marine mammals from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) with specific contributions from non-DFO experts to ensure high quality review of the scientific results and to provide sound scientific advice as the basis for the management and conservation of marine mammals in Canada. When time permits, this annual meeting is also an opportunity to review ongoing research projects and provide feedback or guidance to the scientists involved. In addition to these Proceedings, several Research Documents and Science Advisory Reports will be published as a result of the meeting.
The meeting was held at the Cambridge Suites Hotel (Halifax, NS) from October 20 – 23, 2015. The participants invited to this meeting included individuals from DFO (Ecosystems and Oceans Science, Ecosystems and Fisheries Management, Species at Risk), Dalhousie University, Institute of Marine Resources (IMR), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), WWF Canada, Nunavut Wildlife Management Board, Nunavik Marine Region Wildlife Board, Makivik Corporation, and Nunavut Tunngavik Inc.
