Ecological risk assessment of the Fundian Channel-Browns Bank Area of Interest / by Tanya Koropatnick [and 9 others]. : Fs97-6/3550E-PDF
"An ecological risk assessment was conducted for the Fundian Channel-Browns Bank Area of Interest (AOI) to establish the relative risks presented by a variety of human activities to the identified conservation priorities for a potential Marine Protected Area (MPA). Activities considered in the assessment were limited to those that currently occur within the AOI (fisheries, and marine transportation) and those that may occur within the near future (i.e. midwater trawl). Risk levels were determined by assessing the consequence and likelihood of interactions between activity/pressures and conservation priorities for the site. Consequence was determined by estimating the magnitude of each interaction (i.e., exposure based on the expected level of human activity) and the sensitivity of the ecological component to the pressure. Consequence levels were combined with the likelihood (i.e., probability) of the interaction to determine an overall level of risk. The findings of this assessment will contribute to discussion and decision-making on activities that would be allowed under the regulations within a potential Fundian Channel-Browns Bank MPA, and will help inform the design of the boundary and zones for the potential future MPA"--Abstract, page v.
