Includes bibliographical references (p. 18-26). "The Minister of Fisheries and Oceans initiated a working group in 2005 to assess the ecosystem structure and productivity of the Northumberland Strait with respect to the Confederation Bridge. Three key areas of research were proposed: 1) habitat and resource protection; 2) alternative fisheries management; and 3) economic diversification. DFO Science Gulf Region received funding under the Ecosystem Research Initiative (ERI) to address the first key area: habitat and resource protection. Studies were conducted in the Northumberland Strait (ERINS) between 2007 and 2012 focussing on three research priorities identified by stakeholders: understanding present state and development of ecosystem health indicators; assessing changes of habitat and fauna over time; and data collection, mining/rescue, accessibility and management. White et al. (2013; CSAS Research Document 2013/027) produced a national synthesis of the seven large-scale ERI programs across Canada between 2007 and 2012. We are now presenting a manuscript report showing the progress accomplished from October 2012 to September 2017 for the ERINS. In addition, published non-ERINS material relevant to the ERINS study area, and identified gaps and limitations are also presented"--Abstract, p. vi.
