The St Anns Bank Area of Interest (AOI), located off the eastern coast of Cape Breton Island, has been identified as a candidate area for Marine Protected Area (MPA) designation under the Oceans Act. The AOI covers approximately 5100 km2 and encompasses part of St Anns Bank, Scatarie Bank and the Laurentian Slope and Channel (Figure 1, black boundary). The area includes important habitat for a variety of commercial, non-commercial and at-risk marine species, and is part of an important migration route for many marine mammals and fish.
As part of on-going efforts to describe the biophysical and ecological characteristics of the St Anns Bank AOI, the Oceans and Coastal Management Division is working towards the creation of a benthic habitat ('benthoscape') map for the entire area. In support of this goal, multibeam echo sounder (MBES) data have been gathered and analyzed for certain priority areas, and surveys are planned to collect these data for other areas within the study area. While some photographic and video sampling has been conducted, more work is needed to obtain additional photo, video, and seabed samples. These will be used to ground truth the MBES data analysis for the future creation of benthic mapping products including a final benthoscape map for the area. A preliminary sample station plan has been drafted and will be used to help guide image collection and seabed sampling in the study area.
This project will support the benthic characterization of the St Anns Bank AOI through the collection of ground-truthing data (photographs, videos, and benthic grab samples) at locations distributed across the study area.
The Financial Limitation of this Project is $79,000.00 plus HST and the Project completion date is March 29, 2013.
