Summary
These Proceedings summarize the relevant discussions and key conclusions that resulted from a Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) Regional Peer Review meeting of November 1 – 2, 2017, at the Institute of Ocean Sciences in Sidney, British Columbia (BC). A Working Paper focusing on the reassessment of the Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas (EBSAs) in the Pacific Northern Shelf Bioregion was presented for peer review.
In-person and web-based participation included Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Science, Oceans, and Fisheries Management staff; Environment and Climate Change Canada, Parks Canada, BC Parks and external participants from First Nations organizations, environmental non-governmental organizations, commercial fisheries and academia.
The conclusions and advice resulting from this review will be provided in the form of one Science Advisory Report providing advice to the Oceans Sector with respect to tools and procedures for the designation and assessment of EBSAs and EBSA boundaries in the Northern Shelf Bioregion and other Pacific and DFO regions.
The Science Advisory Report and the two supporting Research Documents will be made publicly available on the Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) website.
