In support of the Fisheries and Oceans Canada Maritimes region ecosystem-based management (EBM) framework : a legal and policy document review / by Sondra L. Eger, Jack Daly and Alida Bundy.: Fs97-4/3314E-PDF

"Holistic approaches to fisheries, oceans and aquatic management are supported by Government of Canada policy and legal documents relevant to Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). These include the consideration of an ecosystem approach in the Fisheries Act and integrated management in the Oceans Act. To support this holistic approach, DFO Maritimes Region has developed an Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM) Framework (Version 1.0) that incorporates governance, ecological, economic, and social and cultural considerations into a comprehensive and practical tool to guide DFO decision-making. The EBM Framework is grounded in legislation and policy that guide DFO’s mandate on sustainable fisheries and oceans management to (1) be credible across DFO Sectors and (2) be practical and relevant for multiple uses including everyday decision-making. A structured review of legal and policy documents was undertaken to inform and support the EBM Framework"--Abstract, page v.
