Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the National Marine Mammal Peer Review Committee (NMMPRC); October 7-11, 2013
Chairperson: Don Bowen
Editor: Christine Abraham
Summary
The National Marine Mammal Peer Review Committee (NMMPRC) holds an annual meeting to conduct scientific peer-review of marine mammal issues. This approach provides the opportunity to bring together experts on marine mammals from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) with specific contributions from non-DFO experts to ensure high quality review of the scientific results and to provide sound scientific advice as the basis for the management and conservation of marine mammals in Canada. When time permits, this annual meeting is also an opportunity to review ongoing research projects and provide feedback or guidance to the scientists involved. In addition to these Proceedings, several Research Documents and Science Advisory Reports will be published as a result of the meeting.
The meeting was held at the Sheraton Hotel (St. John’s, NL) from October 7–11, 2013. The participants invited to this meeting included individuals from DFO (Ecosystems & Ocean Science, Ecosystems & Fisheries Management, Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat); Parks Canada Agency; University of St. Andrews; University of Montreal; GREMM; Institute of Marine Research; Nunavut Tunngavik Inc.; Nunavik Marine Region Wildlife Board; Makivik Corporation; and seal harvesters.
