Proceedings of the National Advisory Meeting on Science advice on the use of Timing Windows as a mitigation measure; February 14–17, 2022
Chairpersons: Mike Bradford and Karin Ponader
Editors: Alex Tuen, Karin Ponader, Jon Midwood, Sean Naman, Douglas Braun, Tyler Tunney, and Kelly Code
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 on the use of timing windows as a mitigation measure to prevent or reduce the likelihood that potentially harmful impacts of works, undertakings, and activities (WUAs) will occur on fish and fish habitat.
This meeting was originally planned to be held virtually February 14–17, 2022, though the meeting was successfully completed February 14–16 without needing to convene February 17.
The science advice will assist DFO’s Fish and Fish Habitat Protection Program (FFHPP) in the development of a science-based framework that could be used to guide the creation, modification, use, and assessment of timing windows.
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.
