Elements of a framework to support decisions on authorizing scientific surveys with bottom contacting gears in protected areas with defined benthic conservation objectives / H.P. Benoît, A. Dunham, P.... : Fs70-5/2020-011E-PDF
"Canada is rapidly increasing the number of protected areas in its domestic coastal and marine waters to meet international conservation targets. This has created an urgent need for approaches and frameworks for determining which human activities will be allowed within these areas in light of site-specific conservation objectives and monitoring requirements. Scientific activities contribute information that can support conservation-related management decision making within protected areas and in the broader ecosystem (e.g., advice for sustainable fisheries, species recovery, and ecosystem status). However, many of these same scientific activities can harm organisms, populations, assemblages and habitats within protected areas and therefore can hinder the achievement of conservation objectives, suggesting a need to evaluate the relative costs and benefits of conducting scientific activities within protected areas. This is particularly true for areas with ecologically sensitive benthic taxa and features, which can be harmed by bottom-contacting sampling gear such as bottom-trawls used in multispecies surveys"--Abstract, page ix.
