520 |aThe Gilbert Bay Marine Protected Area (MPA) was established in 2005 at the request of local stakeholders, to protect the unique population of cod in Gilbert Bay. The community-based Steering Committee (now called Advisory Committee) developed a three-year management plan in 2007, which is now up for renewal. The 2013 – 2018 Gilbert Bay MPA Management Plan spans five years and incorporates the advice of the Gilbert Bay Advisory Committee, the results of the monitoring programs, input from public consultations, and advice from Science and Fisheries Management Branches of DFO. The revised plan identifies the important issues for the future management of the MPA. In 2009 a Science Advisory Report was completed to review the Gilbert Bay Marine Protected Area monitoring indicators, protocols and strategies, and an assessment of the Gilbert Bay cod population. Results concluded that the five indicators currently being used to monitor the Gilbert Bay cod population, and their respective sampling and analytical protocols, are appropriate and sufficient to monitor the MPA against its Conservation Objective(s). The Science report, in addition to results of the annual monitoring program of the Gilbert Bay cod population, indicate a decline in abundance. Fishing activities, in areas outside the MPA boundaries, remains the greatest potential threat to Gilbert Bay cod. This threat to the population increases as fishing effort and associated mortality increases in areas outside the MPA boundaries.
