Application of an ecological risk assessment framework to inform ecosystem-based management for SGaan Kinghlas-Bowie Seamount and Endeavour Hydrothermal Vents marine protected areas .: Fs70-6/2015-037E-PDF
The present report summarizes discussion and guidance from DFO Pacific Region Science on key modifications to the Ecological Risk Assessment Framework (ERAF) prototype methodology that were made for two applications of semi-quantitative Level 2 risk assessment in the Endeavour Hydrothermal Vents (EHV) and SGaan Kinghlas-Bowie Seamount (SKB) Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and the performance of the ERAF with respect to ranking significant ecosystem components (SECs) with respect to cumulative risk and the drivers (activities and stressors, uncertainty) of risk in these areas. The results of these applications are intended to further the development of the ERAF as a tool for identifying and assessing the relative risk of harm to SECs from human activities and their associated stressors and to inform the development of risk-based monitoring indicators in both the EHV and SKB MPAs.
