520 |a"Ecosystem indicators have a pivotal role in understanding, assessing, and managing ecosystems and therefore in implementing an Ecosystem Approach to Management. They represent key attributes in ecosystems and are essential for ecosystem monitoring and assessment and are used to communicate findings to a wider audience. With the on-going development of an Ecosystem Approach in Canada, there is an increasing need to select appropriate indicators for ecosystem reporting, ecosystem assessment, and evaluation of fisheries and spatial management. A comprehensive evaluation and selection of robust ecological indicators is one of the key steps in the process of implementing EA and to track progress towards meeting ecosystem goals. The purpose of this report was to develop a guidance framework for the selection and evaluation of indicators for assessment of ecosystem status, trends monitoring, analysis, and reporting. The framework was successfully tested for the Scotian Shelf Bioregion at multiple spatial scales and a final suite of 30 ecological indicators, derived from fisheries dependent and independent data, was selected. We recommend the use of this Indicator Selection Guidance Framework by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) for the selection of indicators for State of the Ocean reporting, the MPA Network program and for Ecosystem Approaches to fisheries and oceans management"--Abstract, p. xi.
