Marine protected area network planning in the Western Arctic Bioregion : development and use of a classification system to identify ecological units as required planning components / R. Hodgson, K. Martin,... : Fs70-5/2015-020E-PDF
In order to meet Canada’s obligations to the United Nations (UN) Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), creation of a Marine Protected Areas Network (MPAN) following UN stipulated steps is required. This paper details the completion of step two from the UN CBD, which, in short, calls for marine areas to be biogeographically classified (hereafter referred to as eco-units) reflecting the types and diversity of ecosystems. In this paper, we created a systematic approach to biogeographic classification based on available data, prioritization of information inputs based on use and citations in the literature, as well as results from several previous classifications by others, all combined using GIS based mapping and analysis.
