Identifying Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas (EBSAs) is a key component of this commitment. Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) have developed guidelines and eight combined criteria to identify EBSAs. In 2006, EBSAs were identified in the Northern Shelf Bioregion (NSB) using a two-phase expert-driven approach. In response to a science advice request from Oceans Sector and to address a nearshore geographical gap in the previous process, we assess five nearshore features (canopy-forming kelp forests, eelgrass meadows, estuaries, surfgrass meadows, and high current tidal passages) against the CBD and DFO EBSA criteria. We also summarize the available spatial datasets for each feature, outline feature condition and trends, and note species of particular ecological importance that inhabit the features"--Abstract, page vii.
