"The National Eelgrass Task (NET) Force is envisioned as an innovative, diverse and inclusive partnership of scientists, managers, and partners working towards a concrete common goal: a national map of eelgrass distribution in Canada that is publicly accessible, dynamic, and useful for monitoring and collective decision-making. Multiple partners are conducting independent initiatives to better map the distribution of eelgrass on Canada's coastlines at different spatial scales, using various approaches. Recognizing the ecological and socio-economic benefits that eelgrass beds provide in coastal ecosystems, there is national interest in combining efforts to achieve a comprehensive national eelgrass map. … This document was assembled to formalize NET Force, and to summarize bilateral discussions, a national DFO forum, and a national multi-partner forum. This document summarizes the status of initiatives to support eelgrass monitoring and research, provides details relevant for management and science capacities, and recommends actions to achieve the goal of NET Force. This report also represents a call for other partners in Canada actively working on eelgrass monitoring and distribution to join NET Force"--Abstract, page v.
