    Fetch and relative wave exposure indices for the coastal zones of the Scotian Shelf-Bay of Fundy and Newfoundland-Labrador Shelves bioregions

    Exposure to wind-driven waves manifests an important physical gradient in the coastal zone that influences a variety of physical and biological processes (i.e., species distribution). Fetch, the unobstructed distance over which wind-driven waves can build, is a popular proxy for wave exposure at...

    Ecosystem Production Units in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean

    Pepin et al. (2014) stated that three nested spatial scales were identified as relevant for the development of ecosystem summaries and management plans: Bioregion, Ecosystem Production Unit (EPU), and Ecoregion. A bioregion is composed by one or more EPUs, while an EPU consists of a combination...
