Summary
A Regional Peer Review Process was held June 6-7, 2018 in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador (NL). The purpose of this meeting was to define Limit Reference Points (LRPs) consistent with the Precautionary Approach (PA), for Snow Crab in Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) Divisions 2HJ3KLNOP4R, based on the best scientific information available. The application of precaution requires increased risk avoidance where there are risks of serious harm and high uncertainty.
This Proceedings Report includes a summary of presentations and a synthesis of the subsequent discussion and decisions. Appendices include the meeting Terms of Reference, agenda, and list of attendees. Participation in this meeting included Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Science, Resource Management and Policy and Economics Branches, the Fish Food and Allied Workers Union (FFAW), and academia.
