Includes bibliographical references (p. 13-15). "In Canada, the North Atlantic Right Whale (NARW) is listed as Endangered under Schedule I of the Species at Risk Act (SARA), resulting in legal protection of the species and mandatory recovery planning. Recovery objectives include reducing mortality and injury from vessel strikes and entanglements in fishing gear. Since June 2017, 12 NARW have been found dead in the Gulf of St. Lawrence (GSL). In response to these mortalities the Government of Canada implemented a voluntary speed restriction in the GSL for vessels greater than 20 m [65 feet] on 10 July 2017. On 11 August 2017, a mandatory slow-down zone was implemented. On 2 November 2017, DFO Science was asked to provide immediate guidance to Transport Canada (TC) and DFO on the temporal adjustment of the slow-down zone in the GSL. This Science Response Report results from the Science Response Process of 1 December 2017 on the Science Advice on Timing of the Mandatory Slow-Down Zone for Shipping Traffic in the Gulf of St. Lawrence to Protect North Atlantic Right Whale”--Context, p.
