Characterization of the American lobster (Homarus americanus) habitat and fishery to inform marine spatial planning in Malpeque Bay, PEI / M. Ouellette ... [et al.].: Fs70-5/2016-025E-PDF
"Shellfish aquaculture has become an important economic activity of coastal communities in Atlantic Canada. However, several issues are still inducing significant strain on this industry, such as social acceptance and spatial usage conflicts. These are complex issues that are part of the challenges in coastal zone management. In 2013, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans identified the need to develop a detailed spatial plan to accommodate the potential increase in aquaculture acreage in Malpeque Bay, PEI. One of the considerations in this process is to evaluate how much expansion could occur without affecting the productivity of commercial, recreational or Aboriginal species, such as the American lobster (Homarus americanus)"--Abstract, p.iv.
