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 May 3-5, 2022 via the online meeting platform Zoom. The working paper presented for peer review focused on providing science advice related to indicators, protocols, and strategies for monitoring the SG̲aan K̲inghlas-Bowie Seamount Marine Protected Area (SK̲-B MPA).

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, Oceans, and Fisheries Management staff and Council of the Haida Nation (CHN) staff as well as representatives with relevant expertise from Gwaii Haanas Parks Canada, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and academia.

Meeting participants agreed the working paper satisfied all Terms of Reference objectives. The working paper was accepted with minor revisions. The conclusions and advice resulting from this review will be provided in the form of a Science Advisory Report providing advice to the SK̲-B MPA Management Board (representing the Haida Nation and the Government of Canada) to develop recommendations for a SK̲-B ecological monitoring plan in support of the SK̲-B MPA conservation objectives.

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