Ecological Risk Assessment Framework (ERAF) feasibility and suitability evaluation based on a subset of Significant Ecological Components (SEC) from the SGaan Kinghlas-Bowie Seamount Marine Protected Area (SKB MPA.)

Ecological Risk Assessment Framework (ERAF) feasibility and suitability evaluation based on a subset of Significant Ecological Components (SEC) from the SGaan Kinghlas-Bowie Seamount Marine Protected Area (SKB MPA.) is an open dataset from Fisheries and Oceans Canada with 8 files (HTML, CSV, DOC); catalogue record updated 2026-04-29. On CanQuery you can open 2 CSV or Excel files as tables, filter, chart and export up to 10,000 rows as CSV and follow the original downloads. Files are available in English and French.

The Pacific Region ERAF provides a comprehensive approach for assessing all threats to marine ecosystems by evaluating cumulative risk from multiple activities to multiple ecosystem components for ecosystem-based management (EBM), improving upon international and national best practices in risk assessment that focus solely on single activities (e.g., ERAFs for assessing fisheries impacts) or single ecosystem-components (e.g., habitat-based risk assessments). This project applies the Level 2 Risk Assessment framework (O et al. 2015) to the SGaan Kinghlas-Bowie Seamount Marine Protected Area (SKB MPA) to determine the relative risk to the SKB MPA ecosystem from anthropogenic activities.
