In April 2000, the National Marine Mammal Review Committee met in Ottawa to review the most recent information on the status of the northwest Atlantic harp seal population. Attending the meeting were scientists from four international research institutes, a non-governmental environmental group, two individuals from the seal harvesting sector, as well as a number of DFO scientists from across the country.

My comments in brackets are meant to clarify obscure pas sages or allusions in the text. Generally Naji s parenthetical statements are set off by em-dashes as they are in the original text although sometimes I have put them in parentheses. When rendering some sentences I have added phrases in parentheses to make them more readable in English. The differences between Naji s parenthetical statements and my own additions will be very obvious. Finally the reader will please excuse any infelicities in my tianslation of the text. I have not had the time to carefully check it against the Arabic original or to polish the English prose. Any feedback from readers will be most welcome. . May 2005
