520 |aThese Proceedings summarize the relevant discussions and key conclusions that resulted from the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) Regional Peer Review meeting of February 11-12, 2015, at the Pacific Biological Station in Nanaimo, B.C. One working paper was presented for peer review on identifying Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas (EBSAs) in the Offshore Pacific Bioregion. In-person and web-based participation included Fisheries and Oceans Canada staff from the Science Sector and Oceans Management plus external participants from First Nations, academia, Environment Canada, consultants, and non-governmental organizations. As part of Canada’s commitment to identifying and protecting Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas (EBSAs) within its territorial waters, an assessment of habitat features in the Offshore Pacific Bioregion was completed and reviewed. Six areas or features (hydrothermal vents, seamounts, the continental slope, abyssal/bathypelagic waters, and two pelagic/surface features) were assessed against eight EBSA criteria established by Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Convention on Biological Diversity. Five EBSAs were identified by consensus based on the review of the working paper and associated EBSA criteria scores. The conclusions and advice resulting from this review will be provided in the form of a Science Advisory Report.
