Proceedings of Three Workshops to Investigate the Unpacking Process in Support of Ecosystem-Based Management

February - July 2002

Document format: pdf

Publisher: Fisheries and Oceans Canada

Creation date: February 2003

Three independent workshops were held in Maritimes and Gulf Regions to test the usefulness of the ecosystem objectives framework developed at the Sidney workshop. The main goal of the workshops was to investigate how operational objectives related to three activities (groundfish fishing, marine aquaculture, and offshore oil and gas exploration), could be developed. While the detailed outcomes of the workshops were different, in many ways, there was agreement that the framework was useful for evaluating operational objectives. There was also general agreement that care had to be taken in the wording of conceptual and operational objectives to reduce the potential for misinterpretation. There is a need for more regional and national discussions of the approach and more workshops to evaluate the framework for specific applications.
