"A regional peer review meeting was held on February 19, 2020, at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography in Nova Scotia to assess current metrics gathered by the Waved Whelk license holders and to establish priority areas for research and analysis that will enable development of a stock assessment framework for offshore whelk. The information will be used by license holders to improve their research and fishing plans, and ultimately to develop an assessment framework for the exploratory fishery that is consistent with Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO)'s Precautionary Approach. The results of this review are to provide recommendations for industry research priorities and considerations for management of the resource. Participation in this meeting included DFO, non-DFO scientists, First Nations and Indigenous organizations, the fishing industry, and Nova Scotia Fisheries and Aquaculture. This proceedings document is the record of the meeting discussions and conclusions"--Summary, page iv.
