Advice on the vulnerability assessment of biological components of the St. Lawrence to ship-source oil spills .: Fs70-6/2017-044E-PDF
“As part of the review of Canada’s Marine Oil Spill Preparedness and Response Regime, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) is charged with supporting the development of Area Response Plans (ARPs) by sharing data and providing scientific support with respect to at-risk resources in the aquatic environment under its jurisdiction. In order to fulfill this mandate, DFO has developed a method for assessing the vulnerability of biological components in the marine environment to ship-source oil spills. The results of this assessment will be used to improve the protection of aquatic resources by identifying vulnerable species and incorporating this information into existing spill response and planning processes. This Science Advisory Report is from the January 24 and 25, 2017, meeting on the vulnerability assessment of biological components of the St. Lawrence to ship-source oil spills"--Context, p. [1].
