This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific expert opinion was gathered to contribute to the identification of ecologically and biologically significant areas (EBSAs) on the Scotian Shelf. Participants were asked to identify areas of particularly high ecological significance based on the EBSA criteria (uniqueness, aggregation, fitness consequences, naturalness, resilience), delineate the approximate boundaries of each area on a map, and provide justification for selecting each area. In addition, interviews with scientific experts were conducted to help fill gaps related to EBSA identification that were identified.

Download or read book A Description of the Habitats and Special Natural Features Within the Scotian Slope Ecologically and Biologically Significant Area in the Maritimes Region written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The descriptions found within this report will thereby supplement the descriptions of the multiple slope EBSAs found within the offshore EBSA Science Advisory Report (DFO 2014a), and may aid in the identification of other discrete EBSAs along the slope, or in the refinement of the existing EBSAs. [...] For the purpose of this report, the "Scotian Slope" is defined as the portion of sea floor and water column (from surface to bottom) found between the edge of the Scotian Shelf (200m) and the Scotian Rise (approximately 3000m; Han 2007; DFO 2014a), including the Eastern Scotian Shelf Canyons, Northeast Channel, Laurentian Channel Slope, and Stone Fence and Laurentian Environs EBSAs (Figure 2). [...] In the east and along the slope off George's Bank, presence of canyons induces tidal currents and vertical mixing (Bell 1975; Baines 1982, 1983), and the transportation of wave energy from the open ocean onto the shelf (Gordon and Marshall 1976). [...] Generally, the upper slope is complex and sand-filled in the east, and relatively flat and sand and gravel-filled in the west, while the lower slope consists mainly of bioturbated mud and sand transported down-slope by canyons and channels (Piper and Campbell 2002). [...] The Shelf-Edge Current (a branch of the Labrador Current) flows into the Laurentian Channel along the eastern edge and flows back out along the western wall of the channel and then southwest along the shelf edge (Figure 3; see also Brickman and Drozdowski 2012; Brickman et al.
Book Synopsis Mapping Areas of High Phytoplankton Biomass in the Offshore Component of the Scotian Shelf Bioregion by : César Fuentes-Yaco
Download or read book Mapping Areas of High Phytoplankton Biomass in the Offshore Component of the Scotian Shelf Bioregion written by César Fuentes-Yaco and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main purpose of this document is to identify phytoplankton-rich areas in the Scotian Shelf Bioregion, designated as areas of persistent elevated chlorophyll concentration detected by remote sensing. Regions that contain comparatively higher biomass than surrounding areas are considered Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas under the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Aggregation criterion and possibly the Convention on Biological Diversity Biological Productivity criterion, so they can be considered in Marine Protected Area network development for the Scotian Shelf Bioregion (DFO 2014).

Book excerpt: The publication presents panel presentations and plenary discussions from interested delegations which resulted in important convergence of opinions. The area of focus of the presentation was "Ecosystem approaches and oceans". 20 individual panelists made presentations on the various aspects of the topic. The presentations demonstrate that a lot more is happening than had been understood. Nonetheless, a lot is still to be done, in particular, to deal with issues on the high seas where knowledge and governance systems are weak.

Book Synopsis Marine and Coastal Protected Areas by : Rodney V. Salm
Download or read book Marine and Coastal Protected Areas written by Rodney V. Salm and published by IUCN. This book was released on 2000 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a new edition of the classic textbook on marine protected area (MPA) management in the tropics, originally produced as an output of the Bali World Parks Congress in 1982. Approaches to planning and managing MPAs have evolved considerably. Major advances include innovative financing mechanisms, partnerships with the private sector and NGOs, and collaborative management between government and coastal communities. These advances have brought new approaches for MPA establishment and management that are more participatory, involving communities through interaction and collaboration rather than prescription. With new case studies and illustrations, the guide comes in a water-resistant cover for field use. It is intended for those who plan individual and/or national MPA systems and gives philosophical context for MPAs along with some basic principles and approaches.
