"The Fisheries Act, amended under Bill C-68 (2019), includes Fish Stocks provisions that align some elements of Fisheries and Oceans Canada's (DFO) Precautionary Approach framework with legal requirements within the Act; including developing Limit Reference Points (LRPs). The Intertidal clam fisheries in the south coast of British Columbia target three species: Manila Clam (Venerupis philippinarum), Butter Clam (Saxidomus gigantea), and Littleneck Clam (Leukoma staminea); some of the species targeted in these fisheries may be considered for prescription in regulation. An Intertidal Clam Monitoring Program (ICMP) was proposed, to address a paucity of data and to collect standardized population dynamics data, that will support the development of LRPs for these species. This report captures the process and discussion of the first two steps in the development of the ICMP, which included engagement with First Nations, Industry and other stakeholders, to inform future project direction and identify beaches for clam monitoring"--Abstract, page iii.
