Proceedings of the Central and Arctic Regional Science Advisory Process on the Recovery Potential Assessment of Pugnose Shiner ; 6 October 2009
Co-chairs: N.E Mandrak and M.A Koops
Editor: L. Bouvier
Summary
A regional science peer-review meeting was held on 6 October 2009 in Burlington, Ontario. The purpose of the meetings was to assess the recovery potential of Pugnose Shiner (Notropis anogenus) based on the 17 steps outlined in the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Recovery Potential Assessment (RPA) framework. Pugnose Shiner was added to Schedule I of the Species at Risk Act (SARA) when it was proclaimed in June 2003. The resulting RPA Science Advisory Report will provide the information and scientific advice required for the Department to meet various requirements of SARA for this species including permitting and development of recovery strategies. Meeting participants included DFO (several sectors), Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and specialists from Essex Region Conservation Authority, Long Point Conservation Authority, Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority, St. Lawrence National Park, McGill University and the University of Toronto. This proceedings report summarizes the relevant discussions from the peer-review meeting and presents revisions to be made to the associated research documents.
This report will be published in the Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) Proceedings Series on the CSAS website. The working papers presented at the workshop will be published in the form of CSAS Research Documents. The advice from the meeting will be published as a CSAS Science Advisory Report.
