Proceedings of the National Advisory Meeting on Biofouling as a Vector for Aquatic Invasive Species Introduction; January 11–14, 2022
Chairperson: Karen Smokorowski
Editors: Alex Tuen and Tessa Brinklow
Summary
These Proceedings summarize the relevant discussions and key conclusions that resulted from the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) National Advisory Review Meeting to assess biofouling as a vector for nonindigenous species (NIS) introduction. This meeting was held virtually January 11–14, 2022. The science advice will inform Transport Canada’s development of commercial ship biofouling management policies that will better protect Canadian marine and aquatic ecosystems against aquatic invasive species (AIS).
The conclusions and advice resulting from this meeting are provided in the form of a Science Advisory Report which is available on the CSAS website. The supporting Research Document reviewed and discussed at the meeting is also available on the CSAS website.
