Fisheries and Oceans Canada Species at Risk Act Listing Policy and Directive for “Do Not List” Advice

The Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Species at Risk Act (SARA) Listing Policy and Directive for "Do Not List" Advice have been developed by DFO to operationalize the Species at Risk Act. Policy instruments establish consistent approaches; identify how to manage significant risks; and put into action guiding principles for implementation. Policies are directed at deputy heads and their delegates and are designed to achieve certain high-level management objectives. They are supported by other policy instruments, such as guidelines and tools, which explain how to achieve the policy objective and are usually directed at managers and functional specialists.
