Risk assessment of permitted human activities in rockfish conservation areas in British Columbia.: Fs70-6/2019-057E-PDF
"The Government of Canada committed to reaching domestic marine conservation targets of protecting 10% of Canada’s marine and coastal areas by 2020 through marine protected areas (MPAs) and other effective area-based conservation measures (OEABCMs). Rockfish Conservation Areas (RCAs) in Pacific marine waters were established between 2003 and 2007, to protect inshore rockfish populations from fishing activity and allow stocks an opportunity to rebuild. Currently, there are 164 RCAs covering approximately 4,800 square kilometres. This paper describes whether RCAs contribute to the marine conservation targets as OEABCMs by evaluating the RCAs against the “Operational Guidance for Identifying Other Effective Area-Based Conservation Measures in Canada’s Marine Environment” (DFO 2016). This Science Advisory Report is from the December 12-14, 2018 and May 2-3, 2019 regional peer review on the Risk Assessment of Permitted Human Activities in Rockfish Conservation Areas in British Columbia. Additional publications from this meeting will be posted on the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Science Advisory Schedule as they become available"--Context (page 1).
