Proceedings of the Zonal Science Advisory Process on the Recovery Potential Assessment of Eastern Sand Darter ; 2-3 December 2009

Co-chairs: Nicholas E. Mandrak and Marten A. Koops
Editor: Lynn Bouvier

Summary

A zonal science peer-review meeting was held on 2-3 December 2009 in Burlington, Ontario. The purpose of the meeting was to assess the recovery potential of Eastern Sand Darter (Ammocrypta pellucida) based on the 17 steps outlined in the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Recovery Potential Assessment (RPA) framework. Eastern Sand Darter 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 (Central and Arctic, and Quebec regions), Ministère des Ressources Naturelles et de la Faune du Québec, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and specialists from Trout Unlimited, University of Toronto, and University of Waterloo. 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.
