"On the Pacific coast of Canada, a network of marine protected areas (MPAs) is being developed in the Northern Shelf Bioregion (NSB), which extends from Quadra Island and Bute Inlet north to the Alaska border and west to the base of the continental slope. To support this process, advice was solicited through the Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) on ecological design strategies that inform the representation and replication of ecological features, as well as network design parameters such as size, spacing, protection levels, and connectivity. The ecological design strategies can be used to develop initial site selection analyses that identify potential areas that meet ecological network objectives and are one of many inputs into the MPA network design process"--Abstract, page ix.
