Book excerpt: These Proceedings summarize the relevant discussions and key conclusions that resulted from the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) Regional Peer Review meeting of February 11-12, 2015, at the Pacific Biological Station in Nanaimo, B.C. One working paper was presented for peer review on identifying Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas (EBSAs) in the Offshore Pacific Bioregion. In-person and web-based participation included Fisheries and Oceans Canada staff from the Science Sector and Oceans Management plus external participants from First Nations, academia, Environment Canada, consultants, and non-governmental organizations. As part of Canada's commitment to identifying and protecting Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas (EBSAs) within its territorial waters, an assessment of habitat features in the Offshore Pacific Bioregion was completed and reviewed. Six areas or features (hydrothermal vents, seamounts, the continental slope, abyssal/bathypelagic waters, and two pelagic/surface features) were assessed against eight EBSA criteria established by Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Convention on Biological Diversity. Five EBSAs were identified by consensus based on the review of the working paper and associated EBSA criteria scores. The conclusions and advice resulting from this review will be provided in the form of a Science Advisory Report.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "DFO has developed guidance for the identification of Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas (EBSAs), and has endorsed the scientific criteria used by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) for identifying EBSAs. EBSAs in the Pacific Northern Shelf Bioregion (NSB) were identified in 2006 and peer reviewed in 2012. DFO Oceans Sector of the Ecosystems Management Branch has requested DFO Science to review previously identified EBSAs in the NSB using available biological data. The information arising from this Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat Regional Peer Review can be used to support the refinement of existing EBSA boundaries, and help to inform MPA network planning in the NSB, including the Pacific North Coast Integrated Management Area Plan"--Context, p. [1].

Download or read book Scientific Review of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-09-27 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In May 2012, the National Park Service (NPS) asked the National Research Council to conduct a scientific review of a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) to evaluate the effects of issuing a Special Use Permit for the commercial shellfish operation in Drakes Estero for a ten year time span. Drakes Bay Oyster Company (DBOC) currently operates the shellfish farm in Drakes Estero, part of Point Reyes National Seashore, under a reservation of use and occupancy that will expire on November 30, 2012 if a new Special Use Permit is not issued. Congress granted the Secretary of the Interior the discretionary authority to issue a new ten year Special Use Permit in 2009; hence, the Secretary now has the option to proceed with or delay the conversion of Drakes Estero to wilderness. To inform this decision, the NPS drafted an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the DBOC Special Use Permit. Under the National Environmental policy Act (NEPA), as EIS is prepared to inform the public and agency decision-makers regarding the potential environmental impacts of a proposed federal action and reasonable alternatives. The Department of the Interior commissioned a peer review of the DEIS that was released in March 2012. Scientific Review of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement: Drakes Bay Oyster Company Special Use Permit reviews the scientific information presented in the DEIS that is used to determine the potential environmental impacts of a ten year extension of DBOC operations. In particular, this report responds to the following tasks given to the committee: assess the scientific information, analysis, and conclusions presented in the DEIS for Drakes Bay Oyster Company Special Use Permit, and evaluate whether the peer review of the DEIS is fundamentally sound and materially sufficient. Scientific Review of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement: Drakes Bay Oyster Company Special Use Permit focuses on eight of twelve resource categories considered in the DEIS: wetlands, eelgrass, wildlife and wildlife habitat, special-status species, coastal flood zones, soundscapes, water quality, and socioeconomic resources.
