Cover title. "Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Parks Canada Agency would like to thank Andréanne Demers and Hugues Bouchard for drafting the present document ..."--Acknowledgements, p. ii. Includes bibliographical references (p. 25-36). “The Atlantic population of fin whales was reduced by whaling during much of the 20th century. Since 1971, however, the species has not been hunted in Canada and sightings remain relatively common off the Atlantic coast and in the Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence. The species was designated “special concern” in May 2005 by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada and was officially added to Schedule 1 of the Species at Risk Act in July 2006 because it was considered likely to become threatened or endangered due to a combination of threats and biological characteristics. The objective of the present management plan is to ensure that anthropogenic threats within Canadian waters do not cause a decline of the population or a reduction of the currently known distribution range in Canada. To reach this objective, several measures are proposed through four approaches: conservation, stewardship and protection of individuals, education and outreach, research and monitoring. These measures require the participation and cooperation of many partners among federal and provincial departments as well as First Nations, non-governmental organizations, universities, and industry associations"--Executive summary, p. iii. gccst Endangered species gccst Whales gccst Nature conservation Bouchard, Hugues.
