Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, there has been a surge of interest around the world in marine planning as an innovative approach to balancing sustainable development and conservation of the marine environment. In 2009, a marine planning process was initiated for a region called the Pacific North Coast Integrated Management Area (PNCIMA) in British Columbia, Canada. The final integrated oceans management plan for the PNCIMA was officially endorsed in February 2017. The collaborative planning process used to prepare the PNCIMA plan was evaluated using a multi-criteria evaluation method. The results show that the PNCIMA process had strengths and weaknesses: three of the twenty-six best practice criteria were met, thirteen were moderately met, and nine were unmet. Further, stakeholders reached consensus on some but not all elements of the PNCIMA plan. Recommendations are identified for design and management of future collaborative marine planning processes based on the PNCIMA evaluation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to concerns over marine ecological health and conflict among competing uses, new integrated approaches to the management of oceans and coastal areas are evolving in many settings. This study begins with an analysis of international cases to determine common benefits of integrated marine planning, and to identify factors that contribute to a successful integrated marine planning process. The study then describes a survey that was carried out to investigate perceptions of the benefits of marine planning for key stakeholder groups on the Pacific coast of Canada. The results of the survey show strong support for creating a marine plan in this region. Next, a set of best practices criteria for integrated marine planning is developed and used to evaluate and make recommendations to improve the Canadian marine planning framework as it has been applied on the Pacific coast.

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These Proceedings summarize the relevant discussions and key conclusions that resulted from a Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) Regional Peer Review meeting on June 25-27, 2013, at the Pacific Biological Station in Nanaimo, B.C. One working paper was presented for peer review. This working paper focused on testing operational modifications of the prototype ecological risk assessment framework (ERAF) methodology previously reviewed in a May 2012 RPR Meeting, and assessing the performance of the ERAF using a limited subset of 17 significant ecosystem components (SECs), and associated activities and stressors in the Pacific North Coast Integrated Management Area (PNCIMA)"--Summary.

[...] The dangers of human-induced damage to oceans are beginning to enter public consciousness, as society is increasingly aware of the phenomenon of "dead zones", the existence of invasive species, and the fact that that certain marine species have been exploited to the brink of extinction. [...] The following report follows the methodology of the MEA in that the value of ecosystems is assessed from a range of viewpoints (i.e., health, social, and economic). [...] The first objective provides the basis of the report by examining what subset of services exist in the marine environment along the Central and North Pacific coasts, and why they are important from both an ecological and a socio-economic perspective.
Download or read book Protecting the Coast and Ocean written by Stephanie M. Hewson and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2023-06-01 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fish were once so abundant in BC waters that Indigenous elders recall dried salmon being stacked like firewood behind the stove. But declines on the BC coast have accelerated over the last century, with marine wildlife cut in half in just four decades. Protecting the Coast and Ocean explores how we can reverse such precipitous declines. This meticulous work catalogues not only Canadian laws and designations – marine protected areas, Indigenous protected and conserved areas, land-use measures, and zoning bylaws – but also international treaties that shape marine conservation and support collaboration. The authors analyze and compare legal tools, rating their strengths and weaknesses. In-depth case studies illustrate how each instrument has been used in practice. Despite the impact of climate change, overfishing, and pollution, Protecting the Coast and Ocean convincingly demonstrates that legal tools are available to reverse species extinction and plan for a resilient ocean.
