Proceedings of the National Peer Review of Science Guidance for Fisheries Protection Policy: Advice on Developing and Reviewing Offsetting Requirements; November 25-26, 2014
Chairperson: Jake Rice
Editors: G. Pastershank, M. Lloyd, and J. Kristmanson
Summary
A National Science Advisory process was held November 25-26, 2014 in Ottawa, Ontario. The purpose of the meeting was to support the development of additional guidance on offsetting (e.g., calculation of losses and gains) that could aid proponents in the development of their offsetting plans and associated monitoring requirements, and aid Fisheries Protection Program officers when assessing proponent submissions.
The advisory process was informed by a working paper and two presentations: one by Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s (DFO) Ecosystem Management Policies and Practices group and one by DFO Science researchers. A total of 36 participants from academia, industry, non-governmental organizations, and employees from DFO’s six administrative Regions participated in this advisory process.
These Proceedings summarise the discussions held at the meeting. The conclusions and advice from this meeting will be posted on the DFO Science Advisory Schedule as they become available.
