Call for Input: Listing the Athabasca Rainbow Trout as Endangered under the Species at Risk Act

Initiative: 
Listing the Athabasca Rainbow Trout as Endangered under the Species at Risk Act
Deadline: 
9 Feb 2016

From the Species at Risk Public Registry website:

As part of the consultation process, the Government of Canada would like to hear your comments on the potential impacts of listing the Athabasca Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), as Endangered under the Species at Risk Act (SARA).

The process of listing a species under Canada’s SARA consists of several steps: it begins with a status assessment by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) and ends with a Government of Canada decision on whether or not to add a species to the List of Wildlife Species at Risk. Public consultations are conducted to gather the opinions of Canadians and are an important step in this process.
