Summary

These Proceedings summarize key discussions that resulted from a Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) National Advisory meeting that took place September 15-17, 2015 in Ottawa. The meeting reviewed research and lessons learned from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) HydroNet. NSERC’s HydroNet was a national research network set up to provide government and industry with the knowledge and tools to contribute to the sustainable development of hydropower in Canada. In-person participation included employees of DFO Science Sector, DFO Fisheries Protection Program (FPP); and external participants from the Hydroelectric Industry, and academia. Participants reviewed four working papers and one additional presentation summarizing the knowledge gained and tools developed through HydroNet. The conclusions of this review will form the Science Advisory Report which will be made publicly available on the CSAS Science Advisory Schedule. Other supporting publications include four Research Documents, and these Proceedings.
