Proceedings of the 2016 National Marine Mammal Peer Review Committee (NMMPRC): Part II; February 23-26, 2016
Chairperson: Garry Stenson
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.
This meeting, the second in the 2015/16 fiscal year, was held at the Sheraton Wall Centre from February 23-26, 2016. The participants invited to this meeting included individuals from DFO (Ecosystems and Oceans Science, Ecosystems and Fisheries Management, Species at Risk), NOAA, Cascadia Research, Vancouver Aquarium, Oceans Initiative, Mingan Island Cetacean Study, academia and other invited experts.
