Fisheries and Oceans Canada's ecosystem approach to fisheries management working group : case study synthesis and lessons learned / Pierre Pepin, Mariano Koen-Alonso, Stephanie A. Boudreau, Karen M. Cogliati,...: Fs97-6/3553E-PDF
"Fisheries and Oceans' (DFO) national Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM) working group identified 31 case studies to better understand how ecosystem knowledge is applied in the science-management cycle. The aim was to identify opportunities for, and challenges to greater integration of ecosystem variables in decision-making. This synthesis consisted of an in-depth evaluation in terms of context, scientific results, the Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat peer review and advisory process, and recommendations for decision-makers. Lessons learned may serve to provide guidance for Science, Fisheries Management and Policy sectors on how to more fully implement an EAFM. The case studies highlighted the challenges of including ecosystem considerations in the science-management cycle. Basic fundamental scientific research and data integration, through development of ecosystem assessments are foundational elements needed to include ecosystem considerations in the development of advice. Because ecosystems seldom change dramatically from year-to-year, DFO needs to balance the short versus the longer term risks to fish stocks in management recommendations for decision-making. Case studies highlight the importance of including interactions among stocks and fisheries in management recommendations when appropriate. Integration of ecosystem considerations into the science-management cycle requires a structured and continued level of collaboration among DFO sectors (Science, Fisheries Management, Policy)"--Abstract, page iv.
