Proceedings of the Maritimes regional peer review of the southwest Nova Scotia/Bay of Fundy herring framework : part 3 - management strategy evaluation : meeting dates, February 16-17, 2022 : location,...: Fs70-4/2024-032E-PDF

"The Southwest Nova Scotia/Bay of Fundy (SWNS/BoF) management component of the 4VWX Atlantic Herring (Clupea harengus) stock has been without a modeling framework for about two decades and management decisions have been based on trends in an acoustic index of spawning stock biomass. At the time of this meeting, the status of the SWNS/BoF Herring management component was determined to be in the critical zone of the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Precautionary Approach (PA). DFO Maritimes Region began a Management Strategy Evaluation (MSE) process as the modelling framework for SWNS/BoF Herring in 2019. This meeting was the final meeting of four Science Advisory Process meetings to develop this MSE framework. The first meeting was in February 2019 and addressed the data inputs. The second set of meetings were in January 2020 and May 2020 and were a review of the conditioning of the operating models to be used in the MSE. The objectives of this final meeting were to summarize the progress that had been made since the last meeting and a review of the framework used to evaluate candidate Management Procedures (MPs) against objectives in DFO's PA Policy and objectives defined by stakeholders. This meeting also included a review of the situations under which the advice from an MP may be over-ridden (exceptional circumstances). Participants at this meeting included DFO Science, DFO Ecosystem Management, Province of Nova Scotia, Province of New Brunswick, Indigenous communities/organizations, Fishing Industry, non-government organizations, and external experts"--Summary, page iv.
