Rocky Mountain ridged mussel (Gonidea angulata) management plan: Appendix 5

Appendix 5: Record of Cooperation and Consultation

The Rocky Mountain Ridged Mussel is listed as a species of ‘special concern’ on Schedule 1 of the Species at Risk Act (SARA). As an aquatic species, the Rocky Mountain Ridged Mussel falls under federal jurisdiction, and is managed by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) 200 - 401 Burrard Street, Vancouver, B.C., V6C 3S4.

DFO and the Province of British Columbia cooperated on the development of this draft document through a management team comprised of experts. Processes for coordination and consultation between the federal and British Columbian governments on management and protection of species at risk are outlined in the Canada-B.C. Agreement on Species at Risk (2005)

A draft version of the management plan was posted to the DFO Pacific Region website for public comment from December 21, 2009 - January 22, 2010; an initial draft (December 2009) of the management plan along with background information was provided. These consultations were web-based, however mail-outs requesting feedback were also sent to First Nations and municipal governments occurring within the distributional range of the species. No feedback was received from First Nations, municipal governments, or from submissions via the DFO Pacific Region website.
