"Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) is undertaking marine spatial planning (MSP) in several priority areas in Canada, including in the Scotian Shelf and Bay of Fundy planning area. An important consideration in an MSP process is understanding which marine activities can occur together in space. We adapted a tool developed by the COEXIST Project in Europe to score various activities based on spatial scale, temporal scale, vertical scale, and mobility of the activity. Scores were then combined to give a compatibility rating between activities. The resulting compatibility rating provides a high-level overview of which activities may be compatible and which may not, exclusive of possible mitigation or management measures, or the assessment of risks. The results may inform existing decision-making processes and sector-based planning"--Abstract, page v.
