The panel is a very important binational mechanism that recognizes the consensus-based approach both to trying to understand the flows, predicting the runs as they arrive in preseason and in season, and also around the management measures therein.
The panel has senior representation. We have two commissioners who are from the DFO, but it is a mix of experts from outside, as well as our two representatives. It is a crucial forum for the discussion and management of these. However, it is on a consensus basis, and we could not advance this work without the incredible contributions of those who give their time to this commission.
