This pilot application of the framework is intended to be relevant to all biota in the (on-shelf) Pacific region. The functionality of the components of the framework method was assessed in this pilot application, and modifications made were deemed necessary with the support of regional subject matter experts. The objectives of this pilot application were to: assess, and where necessary, adapt sub-groups (representing marine biota) so that they are appropriate to Pacific Region biota and structured so that their vulnerabilities to oil can be discerned by the scoring criteria (based on their biological and ecological traits); assess, and where necessary, adapt criteria and definitions through testing of the framework; and identify a list of sub-groups most vulnerable to a ship-source oil spill in the Pacific region by scoring adapted sub-groups for vulnerability criteria and applying a screening and ranking process"--Abstract, p. v.
