November 14, 2008
Chairperson: T. Morris
Summary
A regional science peer review meeting was held on November 14, 2008 in Burlington Ontario. The purpose of the meeting was to peer-review information relevant to the 10-year update for the original COSEWIC status assessment for the Wavyrayed Lampmussel (Lampsilis fasciola) in Canadian waters. The Wavyrayed Lampmussel was designated as Endangered by COSEWIC in 1999.It was listed as Endangered under the Species at Risk Act (SARA) in 2002 when the SARA came into force. This meeting considered new data related to the status and trends of, and threats to this species inside and outside of Canadian waters, as well as the strengths and limitations of the information. This included a review in terms of the COSEWIC Quantitative Criteria and Guidelines for the Status Assessment of Wildlife Species. The information will be made available to COSEWIC, the authors of the status report, and the Chairs of the COSEWIC Species Specialist Subcommittee. The meeting included participants from DFO Science as well as Environment Canada, University of Guelph, Central Michigan University and Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority. This proceedings report summarizes the relevant discussions and presents the key conclusions reached at the peer review meeting.
This will be published in the CSAS Proceedings Series. There will be a CSAS Research Document produced in relation to the working paper presented at the workshop.
