Proceedings of the Pacific regional peer review on the review of the model and information needed to identify Critical Habitat for Leatherback Turtle – Pacific Population; December 5-6, 2012

Chairperson: Sean MacConnachie
Editor: Sean MacConnachie

Summary

These Proceedings summarize the relevant discussions and key conclusions that resulted from a Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) Regional Advisory meeting held on December 5th, 2012 at the Pacific Biological Station in Nanaimo, B.C. One working paper focusing on recommendations for critical habitat for Leatherback Sea Turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) was presented for peer review.

In-person and web-based participation included staff from DFO Science and Ecosystem Management branches, and external participants from the Province of BC, NOAA and independent scientists.

The conclusions and advice resulting from this review will be provided in the form of a Science Advisory Report (SAR) providing advice to the DFO species at risk program to inform the eventual identification of critical habitat for Leatherback Sea Turtles in Canadian Pacific waters.

The SAR and the supporting Research Document will be made publicly available on the Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) website.
