Placentia Bay-Grand Banks Large Ocean Management Area Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas
By Templeman, N.D.
Abstract
The purpose of this report is to identify Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas (EBSAs) for the Placentia Bay-Grand Banks Large Ocean Management Area (PBGB LOMA) based on the guidelines in CSAS Ecosystem Status Report 2004/006. The exercise was carried out using information from several key documents that detailed ecosystem overview and status, fish distribution and spawning, and single species assessment. Scientists in the Newfoundland Region also provided input on those areas that they felt could be deemed significant based on their knowledge and experience. The result of these exercises was the identification and description of 11 EBSAs and their significant features, as well as a corresponding map.
