Interim Guide to Information Requirements for Environmental Assessment of Marine Shellfish Aquaculture Projects

Document format: pdf

Publisher: Fisheries and Oceans Canada

Creation date: February 15, 2002

This guide has been prepared to identify the information required to assess the environmental effects of marine aquaculture operations of most shellfish species under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA) by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) and is intended to assist aquaculture proponents in collecting and presenting such project and environmental information. The information identified is required to allow DFO to conduct an environmental assessment under CEAA when DFO is proposing to exercise one of the powers described in section 5 of CEAA. These powers include the issuance of certain regulatory approvals under the Navigable Waters Protection Act (NWPA) and/or the Fisheries Act for an aquaculture project.
