Monitoring Pacific marine conservation area effectiveness using aerial and RADARSAT-2 (synthetic aperture radar) vessel detection / by Lily Burke, Georgia Clyde, Beatrice Proudfoot, Emily M. Rubidge, Josephine...: Fs97-6/3479E-PDF

"There is a critical need for monitoring and evaluation tools to ensure marine conservation areas are meeting conservation objectives. In particular, monitoring human pressures is fundamental for evaluating management effectiveness and ecological performance. Vessel tracking data shed light on a variety of human pressures within conservation areas and are highly valuable for evaluating vessel- and fishing-related regulations. We analyzed vessel tracking data collected by the Government of Canada in 2020, including aerial surveillance from Transport Canada and Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and RADARSAT-2, to demonstrate how these data can be used for human pressure monitoring and evaluating effectiveness of Canada's marine conservation areas"--Abstract, page ix.
