The study, “Missing the safety net: evidence for inconsistent and insufficient management of at-risk marine fishes in Canada”, examined the Species At Risk Act listing process to see if species considered “at risk” – designated Special Concern, Vulnerable, Threatened or Endangered – received conservation measures to rebuild them.
This study was a collaboration between Dr. Julia K. Baum from the Department of Biology at the University of Victoria, and the Ecology Action Centre.
