Book excerpt: The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) recently assessed the status of Smooth Skate (Malacoraja senta) in Canada, and classified the Funk Island Deep designatable unit (DU) as endangered. Environment Canada, in consultation with Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), is responsible for the administration of the Species at Risk Act (SARA), and is therefore required to decide, within a specific timeframe, whether to formally list the population under SARA. In support of the listing recommendation, a number of actions are required, many of which require scientific information on issues such as the current status of the species, population or DU, threats to its survival and recovery, and the feasibility of its recovery. Formulation of this scientific advice has typically been developed through a Recovery Potential Assessment (RPA) that is conducted shortly after the COSEWIC assessment. This timing allows for the inclusion of peer-reviewed scientific analyses into SARA processes, including recovery planning.--Document.
