Canadian environmental sustainability indicators : shellfish harvest area quality.: En4-144/86-2018E-PDF

"If unsafe bacterial levels are measured or if shoreline investigations show pollution concerns, Environment and Climate Change Canada makes classification recommendations to its Canadian Shellfish Sanitation Program partners. Fisheries and Oceans Canada opens or closes harvest areas based on those recommendations. The indicator tracks the proportion of harvest area that is open as a coarse measure of the quality of marine coastal water"--P. 6.
