[et al.] National Energy Board. 2006. 83p. ; 28 cm. Environmental Studies Research Funds 0837-1652 143 "During 2001-2003, a large amount of new information on deep-water corals in Atlantic Canada was collected under this ESRF-funded project. Data sources included DFO groundfish trawl surveys, the Fisheries Observer Program, interviews with fishers, and dedicated cruises to particular areas of interest using DFO research vessels and equipment... The purpose of this report is to document the activities and summarize the major results fo this three year project."--Page 17. This report is part of a series of ESRF-funded research that examines environmental and social issues related to petroleum exploration and development on frontier lands— those areas where the resources are located in offshore areas of the East and coasts and all lands north of the 60th parallel. Studies examine the biological, environmental, and ecological effects of exploration and means to prevent or mitigate harm to facilitate effective decision-making. All ESRF studies are subject to a scientific/technical peer review. (Résumé en français.)
