Proceedings of the Bay of Fundy Seafloor Mapping Forum : Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, March 13, 2020 / by Jessica A. Sameoto, Freya Keyser, David Keith, Craig J. Brown, Ian Church.: Fs97-6/3395E-PDF
"Through the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) Ocean and Freshwater Science Contribution Program (Partnerships and Priorities Fund), funding was provided to the Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) and University of New Brunswick (UNB) between 2017-2020 to undertake multi-year research focused on developing seafloor mapping and ocean modelling approaches to improve understanding of benthic ecosystems in the Bay of Fundy. This "Hydrography to biology: Developing integrated approaches for benthic habitat mapping" project aimed to refine existing and test new approaches to habitat mapping by integrating existing multibeam echosounder datasets from the Bay of Fundy with newly conducted in situ sampling of the seafloor and hydrodynamic modelling. A one-day forum was held on March 13, 2020, at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography, in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, with participation from academic researchers, students, government scientists, hydrographers, resource managers, and science managers. The objectives of this forum were to communicate the main results from this 3-year project, present an update on upcoming major research initiatives that are leveraging the results of this project (e.g. Ocean Frontier Institute Phase 2 Project – Benthic Ecosystem Mapping and Engagement (BEcoME)), and to discuss how this research could be operationalized by DFO. These proceedings provide an overall summary of the forum presentations and discussion sessions"--Abstract, page iv.
