Report on the progress of recovery strategy implementation for the western brook lamprey - Morrison Creek population (Lampetra richardsoni) in Canada for the period 2007-2015 .: En3-4/24-1-2016E-PDF

"The Western Brook Lamprey – Morrison Creek Population (Lampetra richardsoni), hereafter referred to as Morrison Creek Lamprey, was assessed by COSEWIC as Threatened in April 1999. In May 2000, the species’ status was re-examined by COSEWIC and designated Endangered, and subsequently listed under the Species at Risk Act as Endangered in June 2003. In July of 2007 the final Recovery Strategy for the Morrison Creek Lamprey (Lampetra richardsoni var. marifuga) in Canada (NRTMCL 2007) was posted to the Species at Risk Public Registry. An updated COSEWIC assessment in 2010 confirmed the species’ status as Endangered. The recovery goal as identified in the Recovery Strategy for this species is to “secure its long-term viability within its natural range.” This report documents the progress of Recovery Strategy implementation for Morrison Creek Lamprey. It summarizes progress that Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the Province of British Columbia’s Ministry of Environment, and other interested parties have made towards achieving the goal and objectives set out in the Recovery Strategy including: conducting new research and monitoring activities (including advancing studies to support the identification of critical habitat); and completing management activities that help Canadians reduce impacts on, and better understand the threats to, Morrison Creek Lamprey"--Executive summary.
