Conservation objectives for the Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas (EBSA) of the Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence
Summary
- A general conservation objective common to each of the ten Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas (EBSA) was developed:
Ensure that the features of the EBSA related to its uniqueness, which make the area appropriate for aggregation and / or that ensure the reproduction and survival of the dependant species in that area (fitness consequences), are not altered by human activities.
- Consensus was reached on assigning a priority to the ten EBSAs with seven categorized as first priority and three EBSAs classified as second priority.
