Summary
These Proceedings summarize the relevant discussions and key conclusions that resulted from a Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat Regional Peer Review meeting of June 8-9, 2020 at the Pacific Biological Station, in Nanaimo, British Columbia. A working paper focusing on ‘A Management Procedure Framework for British Columbia Groundfish’ was presented for peer review.
The meeting was held virtually due to restrictions related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Virtual participation included a total of 54 participants from DFO (Science, Fisheries Management, and Ecosystem Management Branches) and external participants representing the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, First Nations, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, the commercial and recreational fishing sectors, academia, non-government organizations, and consultants.
The conclusions and advice resulting from this review will be provided in the form of a Science Advisory Report providing advice to the DFO Fisheries Management Branch to inform them on harvest strategies for data-limited groundfish stocks.
The Science Advisory Report and supporting Research Document will be made publicly available on the Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat website.
