Proceedings of the National Peer Review on the Significance of Canadian Healthy Oceans Network (CHONe) Research to Marine Conservation within Fisheries and Oceans Canada; February 2-3, 2016
Chairperson: Patrice Simon
Editors: Nadine Templeman and Bradley Marleau
Summary
A Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) National peer review process was held February 2nd - 3rd, 2016 at the Indigo Hotel, Ottawa, Ontario. The purpose of this meeting was to explore contributions that the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Canadian Healthy Oceans Network (CHONe II; 2015-2020), given its partnership with the Department, could make to marine conservation activities within DFO. Participants included those occupying various positions in the Science and Ecosystems Management Sectors of DFO, as well as researchers from various academic institutions across the country with leadership roles in CHONe II.
Initially, the meeting specifically focused on the role and process of science in decision-making at DFO. Researchers presented and discussed outputs of CHONe I (2008-14), which were potentially applicable to marine conservation and currently available for mobilization within the DFO Science and Oceans Management programs. Challenges and lessons learned from CHONe I were also put forward and set the basis for the identification of methods by which to improve communication and the dissemination of information between the partners, including research outputs, through the course of the five-year CHONe II research program and partnership. All meeting participants validated the importance of ensuring the optimization of integrating CHONe II findings into marine conservation activities at DFO.
