Proceedings of the National Peer Review of Science Advice to support the Jeopardy Assessment Framework for Permitting under the Species at Risk Act; November 6-8, 2018
Chairperson: Keith Clarke
Editor: Karine Robert
Summary
These proceedings summarize the relevant presentations and discussions of the national science advisory meeting titled “Jeopardy Assessment Framework for Permitting under the Species at Risk Act”, held on November 6-8, 2018, in Ottawa, Ontario. The conclusions and advice resulting from this meeting will be provided in the form of a Science Advisory Report that will be made publicly available on the CSAS website. Meeting participants included experts from various sectors and regions of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, as well as external participants from Environment and Climate Change Canada, University of Toronto, University of Alberta, Memorial University, and the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC). The purpose of this meeting was to assess components of a proposed framework that builds upon and complements the Department’s existing approaches to assess allowable harm in order to assist the Department in making scientifically defensible decisions about the impacts of an activity to a listed aquatic species. One working paper was distributed prior to the meeting, in addition to background documents. The paper described the Science-based Framework for Assessing the Impact of Development Activities under Section 73 of Canada’s Species at Risk Act and was reviewed at the meeting for publication as a Research Document.
