North Atlantic right whale : a science based review of recovery actions for three at-risk whale populations.: Fs49-12/3-2017E-PDF
"This document provides a summary of recovery activities (measures) that have been developed and implemented to support the conservation and protection of North Atlantic right whales throughout their range (but with a focus on Canadian efforts) and aims to assess their overall effectiveness for achieving population recovery. Recovery activities are assessed from a scientific perspective only, and effectiveness of recovery activities are considered in terms of their ability to reduce threats that have been identified and associated with the endangered status of the population. This document also aims to identify how recovery objectives can be better achieved by accelerating implementation of recovery activities already identified but not underway, by identifying possible new measures, and by providing guidance on the relative priority of the measures intended to reduce risk of the identified threats to North Atlantic right whales"--Objective of this review, p. 4.
