DFO Maritimes region Ecosystem Based Management (EBM) framework workshop II : incorporating social, cultural and governance aspects / by Alida Bundy, Jack Daly, Catherine Thompson and Maxine Westhead.: Fs97-6/3440E-PDF

"DFO Maritimes Region is developing a holistic Ecosystem Based Management (EBM) Framework, that encompasses ecological, economic, social/cultural and governance objectives in support of DFO’s long-standing mandate to apply an ecosystem approach to fisheries and oceans management in Canada. This report provides a summary of a DFO Maritimes Region workshop that was held on 25-29 January 2021: “Ecosystem Based Management (EBM) Framework Workshop II: incorporating social, cultural and governance aspects”, to further the development of the EBM Framework. This workshop was a direct ‘next step’ from an earlier (2019) internal DFO EBM workshop that identified the need to engage specific external expertise to further develop the Social/Cultural and Governance elements of the Maritimes EBM Framework. This was the first external engagement on the EBM Framework by the Department and participants included invited external social scientists and Indigenous Peoples as well as DFO staff. There was broad consensus among participants that the EBM Framework was composed of the right pillars and objectives, thereby further validating the Framework. Using Canadian legislation to guide discussions, excellent progress was made on the development of primary and secondary statements for the social/cultural and governance objectives. Discussions were rich, underscoring the importance of developing the EBM Framework and its objectives through an interdisciplinary, collaborative process. Next steps include engaging with Indigenous Peoples to incorporate Indigenous perspectives and considerations into the Framework and continued collaboration with external social science expertise to fully develop the social/cultural and governance objectives of the EBM Framework"--Abstract, page v.
