520 |a“An ecological risk-assessment framework (ERAF) was developed by the Fisheries and Oceans Canada Pacific Region to evaluate the single and cumulative threats from multiple anthropogenic activities and their associated stressors to ecologically significant ecosystem components (SECs).The ERAF consists of three levels of risk assessment: Level 1 - qualitative; Level 2 - semi-quantitative; and, Level 3 - fully quantitative. Selection of risk assessment level is dependent on available information of SECs and activities in the specified area. This study applied a Level 2 risk assessment framework to the SGaan Kinghlas-Bowie Seamount Marine Protected Area (SK-B MPA) in DFO’s Pacific Region. This MPA was selected for evaluation as it represents a geographically defined area in the marine environment where anthropogenic activities are limited and monitored. In applying the ERAF to the SK-B MPA, this study specifically aims to: identify ecological SECs that appropriately represent the ecosystem at the SK-B MPA; identify anthropogenic activities and stressors that have the potential to negatively impact these SECs; and, prioritize stressors and SECs on a relative scale within the SK-B MPA"--Introd., p. 1.
