Book excerpt: Section 46 of SARA requires the competent minister to report on the implementation of the recovery strategy for a species at risk, and on the progress towards meeting its objectives within five years of the date when the recovery strategy was placed on the Species at Risk Public Registry, and in every subsequent five-year period, until its objectives have been achieved or the species' recovery is [...] Some of the identified strategies and approaches are sequential to the progress or completion of others and not all may be undertaken or show significant progress during the timeframe of a Report on the Progress of Recovery Strategy Implementation (Progress Report). [...] As stated in the preamble to SARA, success in the recovery of species at risk depends on the commitment and cooperation of many different groups that will be involved in implementing the directions set out in the recovery strategy and will not be achieved by Fisheries and Oceans Canada, or any other jurisdiction, alone. [...] Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) is the authority responsible for the recovery of the NWB-SSP, and has been working to advance the implementation of the Recovery Strategy in several ways. [...] The protection and management of the Gully Marine Protected Area (MPA), designated in 2004 under the Oceans Act, continues to play an important role in the recovery of the NWB-SSP.

Book excerpt: In the context of species at risk conservation, recovery is the process by which the decline of an endangered, threatened or extirpated species is arrested or reversed, and threats are removed or reduced to improve the likelihood of the species' persistence in the wild. [...] In the spirit of the National Accord for the Protection of Species at Risk, the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans invites all responsible jurisdictions and Canadians to join Fisheries and Oceans Canada in supporting and implementing this strategy for the benefit of the northern bottlenose whale and Canadian society as a whole. [...] There are several historic centres of abundance based on whaling information: west of Spitsbergen, around Iceland, off northern and western Norway, in Canadian waters of the Davis Strait, and along the edge of the eastern Scotian Shelf, the southern-most centre of abundance. [...] There are several known areas of abundance for the species, two of which are off Canada: the edge of the eastern Scotian Shelf and the Davis Strait. [...] This recovery strategy is intended to serve as a blueprint for the recovery of the Scotian Shelf population of the northern bottlenose whale by summarizing the best available information on the biology and status of the population, and by identifying objectives and strategies for its recovery.

Book excerpt: Many populations of cetaceans are still recovering from the impacts of whaling and face ongoing, and sometimes increasing, human stressors. However, due to their slow reproductive life history, monitoring trends and responses to potential threats requires long-term datasets. Understanding the status of cryptic species, like beaked whales, is further challenged by their remote habitat, low density and deep diving ability, restricting opportunities for data collection. Northern bottlenose whales (NBW, Hyperoodon ampullatus) were previously whaled and, although the Scotian Shelf population is currently recognized as Endangered under the Species at Risk Act (SARA), their population structure as well as their status in Canada are unclear. The goal of my thesis was to reassess evidence for NBW population structure, life history and threats using a diversity of methods to integrate long-term datasets and address questions broadly relevant to the conservation of beaked whales. I began with a systematic review and metanalysis of the literature on cetacean population structure with particular consideration of studies of odontocetes. I applied genetics to distinguish evolutionarily significant population structure and historical demography of NBW in Canada and stable isotopes to estimate the period of maternal care. Using photoidentification I reviewed the stability of marks and quantified the rate of anthropogenic scarring. I modelled the change in cumulative human impacts over 30 years to evaluate concurrent trends in estimates of NBW abundance and spatial conservation measures. I found that, despite having almost the lowest genetic diversity of any cetacean, Scotian Shelf NBW were distinct from those in other areas, supporting their management as a Designatable Unit under SARA. However, their recovery from whaling has likely been impacted by their low reproductive potential, and despite few reports, ongoing threats of entanglement. Encouragingly, long term trends indicate that the reduction of human activities on the Scotian Shelf has contributed to the population's recovery. My results demonstrate how the life history and past exploitation of NBW have left them vulnerable to ongoing impacts, and suggest that protecting important habitat can be an effective conservation tool for beaked whales.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This Progress Report describes the progress made from 2009 to 2014 toward meeting the recovery objectives listed in the Recovery Strategy for the North Atlantic Right Whale (Eubalaena glacialis) in Canadian Waters (hereafter "Recovery Strategy). This report is one in a series of documents for this species that are linked and should be considered together, including a recovery potential assessment (DFO 2007), the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) status report (COSEWIC 2013), a Recovery Strategy (DFO 2014a), and any future Action Plans. Section 2 reproduces the COSEWIC assessment summary, recaps the threats to the population and its critical habitat, along with the recovery objectives, performance indicators, and the critical habitat schedule of studies from the Recovery Strategy. During the reporting period, many activities were undertaken to support the recovery objectives. These activities, along with an assessment of recovery progress according to the performance indicators, are presented in Section 3. Section 4 provides a concluding statement about the implementation of the Recovery Strategy during the reporting period, as well as suggestions to guide future recovery efforts"--Intro.
