St. Lawrence Estuary beluga : a science based review of recovery actions for three at-risk whale populations.: Fs49-12/1-2017E-PDF

"This document presents the recovery measures that have been developed as part of the Recovery Strategy for the beluga whale, St. Lawrence Estuary population in Canada, identifies those that have been implemented (or not yet implemented) to support the conservation and protection of the population throughout its range, and assesses their overall effectiveness for achieving population recovery. This document provides a review from a scientific perspective only, and considers the effectiveness of recovery measures in terms of their ability to reduce threats that have been identified and associated with the endangered status of the population. This review also aims to identify how recovery objectives can be better achieved by accelerating implementation of recovery measures already identified but not underway, by identifying possible new measures, and by providing guidance on the relative priority that needs to be given to each of these measures to promote recovery"--Objective of this review, p. 3.
