Proceedings of the Pacific regional peer review on evaluation of methods for identification of early detection monitoring sites for invasive European Green Crab in the Salish Sea, British Columbia; January 31 – February 2, 2022

Chairperson: Sophie Foster

Editor: Jill Campbell

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 Peer Review meeting on January 31 – February 2, 2022 via the online meeting platform Zoom. The working paper presented for peer review focused on developing a multi-model ensemble to identify priority sites for invasive European Green Crab (EGC) early detection/monitoring in Canadian waters of the Salish Sea.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in-person gatherings have been restricted and a virtual format for this meeting was adopted. Participation included DFO Science, Fisheries Management, and Aquatic Invasive Species Management staff as well as representatives with relevant expertise from First Nation governments, environmental non-governmental organizations, and academia.

The conclusions and advice resulting from this review will be provided in the form of a Science Advisory Report providing advice to the DFO Aquatic Invasive Species Management program to inform EGC management in the Salish Sea and contribute to DFO’s international commitment related to the Bilateral EGC Action Plan.

The Science Advisory Report, Proceedings and supporting Research Document will be made publicly available on the Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat website.
