Proceedings of the Central and Arctic Regional Science Advisory Process on the Recovery Potential Assessment of Eastern Pondmussel (Ligumia nasuta); March 20, 2008

Chairperson: T. Morris

Summary

A regional science peer review meeting was held on March 20, 2008 in Burlington Ontario. The purpose of the review was to provide science advice on the Recovery Potential of the Eastern Pondmussel including a science-based peer review of the 17 steps in Fisheries and Ocean’s Recovery Potential Assessment (RPA) framework. The advice was intended to feed the recovery process, under Canada’s Species at Risk Act (SARA), for Eastern Pondmussel which had been designated as Endangered by COSEWIC. The advice will be provided to the DFO Minister for his consideration in any listing decision under the SARA for this species and for any socio-economic analyses, consultations and recovery planning related to this species. Participants included representatives of DFO Science and Fish Habitat Management, Central and Arctic Region, as well as Environment Canada, University of Guelph, University of Toronto, Trent University and the Bishops Mills Natural History Centre. 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 may be a CSAS Research Document(s) produced in relation to the working paper(s) presented at the workshop. The advice from the meeting will be published as a Science Advisory Report.
