Offshore ecological and human use information considered in marine protected area network design in the Scotian Shelf bioregion / Anna R. Serdynska, Gary S. Pardy, and Marty C. King. : Fs97-6/3382E-PDF

"This report contains a summary of the data layers used for the offshore component of the MPA network analysis. The ecological data layers have been organized into coarse-filter (i.e., ecological classifications and functional groups for fishes, invertebrates, and seabirds) and fine-filter (i.e., areas of high species richness, biogenic habitats, and depleted species) conservation priorities. The ecological section of this report contains descriptions of how the different layers were created and the rationale for their inclusion in the MPA network analysis. Human use data (i.e., fisheries landings, oil and gas activity, and shipping activity) were also considered. The human use section of this report contains descriptions of all the socio-economic layers considered in the development of the draft MPA network design"--Abstract, page x.
