Our role within DFO science is to provide advice on the sustainable use of harvestable resources. We also provide advice on a number of other types of issues or items that relate to fisheries science and ocean science.
A lot of our role in terms of the provision of advice is response. It's a response to our clients, both internal to the department and external to the department. When it comes to decision-making, it's just providing information, evidence-based recommendations, and risk of potential decisions around harvest and other ocean activities.
