Ecological Risk Assessment Framework (ERAF) feasibility and suitability evaluation based on a subset of Significant Ecological Components (SEC) from the SGaan Kinghlas-Bowie Seamount Marine Protected Area (SKB MPA.)

Ecological Risk Assessment Framework (ERAF) feasibility and suitability evaluation based on a subset of Significant Ecological Components (SEC) from the SGaan Kinghlas-Bowie Seamount Marine Protected Area (SKB MPA.) The Pacific Region ERAF provides a comprehensive approach for assessing all threats to marine ecosystems by evaluating cumulative risk from multiple activities to multiple ecosystem components for ecosystem-based management (EBM), improving upon international and national best practices in risk assessment that focus solely on single activities (e.g., ERAFs for assessing fisheries impacts) or single ecosystem-components (e.g., habitat-based risk assessments). This project applies the Level 2 Risk Assessment framework (O et al. 2015) to the SGaan Kinghlas-Bowie Seamount Marine Protected Area (SKB MPA) to determine the relative risk to the SKB MPA ecosystem from anthropogenic activities. 2023-07-13 Fisheries and Oceans Canada Miriam.O@dfo-mpo.gc.ca Nature and EnvironmentSKB MPAERAFEBMSGaan Kinghlas-Bowie Seamount Marine Protected AreaEcosystem Risk Assessment FrameworkEcosystem-based ManagementERAF Pilot ProjectPacific SGaan Kinghlas-Bowie Seamount MPA ERAF MetadataDOC https://api-proxy.edh.azure.cloud.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/6888de5a-f0d3-4255-a19f-cf330a8d6850/attachments/skb_mpa_eraf_metadata.docx SGaan Kinghlas-Bowie Seamount MPA ERAF MetadataDOC https://api-proxy.edh.azure.cloud.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/6888de5a-f0d3-4255-a19f-cf330a8d6850/attachments/skb_mpa_eraf_metadata_fr.docx SGaan Kinghlas-Bowie Seamount MPA ERAF MetadataHTML https://api-proxy.edh.azure.cloud.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/6888de5a-f0d3-4255-a19f-cf330a8d6850/attachments/skb_mpa_eraf_metadata.htm SGaan Kinghlas-Bowie Seamount MPA ERAF MetadataHTML https://api-proxy.edh.azure.cloud.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/6888de5a-f0d3-4255-a19f-cf330a8d6850/attachments/skb_mpa_eraf_metadata_fr.htm SGaan Kinghlas-Bowie Seamount MPA SEC Risk Scoring TableCSV https://api-proxy.edh.azure.cloud.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/6888de5a-f0d3-4255-a19f-cf330a8d6850/attachments/skb_input_eraf_secscoring_sep2017.csv SGaan Kinghlas-Bowie Seamount MPA SEC Risk Scoring TableCSV https://api-proxy.edh.azure.cloud.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/6888de5a-f0d3-4255-a19f-cf330a8d6850/attachments/skb_input_eraf_secscoring_sep2017_fr.csv SGaan Kinghlas-Bowie Seamount MPA ERAF Uncertainty Propagation Code for Level 2 Risk AnalysisHTML https://api-proxy.edh.azure.cloud.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/6888de5a-f0d3-4255-a19f-cf330a8d6850/attachments/cuserswaldronjdesktopthiesseraf_skberaf_skb-supporting-docsskb_eraf_risk_calculations_and_figure.htm SGaan Kinghlas-Bowie Seamount MPA ERAF Uncertainty Propagation Code for Level 2 Risk AnalysisHTML https://api-proxy.edh.azure.cloud.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/6888de5a-f0d3-4255-a19f-cf330a8d6850/attachments/cuserswaldronjdesktopthiesseraf_skberaf_skb-supporting-docsskb_eraf_risk_calculations_and_figure.htm
