 "description": "<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span>The Beaufort Regional Environmental Assessment (BREA) was administered by Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) between 2010 and 2015, and gathered information on regional environmental and socio-economic topics to support regulatory and management issues surrounding potential oil and gas development in the Beaufort Sea. Offshore marine fishes and habitats in the Beaufort Sea were identified as Tier 1 knowledge gaps by the BREA. In response, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) conducted a baseline survey of marine fishes and associated habitat and food web parameters in the offshore Beaufort Sea, called the Beaufort Sea Marine Fishes Project (BSMFP).<\/span><\/p><p><span /><\/p><p><span>The objectives of the BSMFP were to establish regional baselines for 1) occurrences, diversity, relative abundances and distributions of offshore marine fishes; 2) associations between fishes, physical/chemical habitat parameters, and prey availability; and, 3) ecosystem linkages and energy pathways within and amongst marine habitats (i.e., nearshore-shelf, offshore shelf, slope, deepwater slope, and pelagic).<\/span><\/p><p><span /><\/p><p><span>L\u2019évaluation environnementale régionale de Beaufort (EERB), qui a été administrée par Affaires autochtones et Développement du Nord Canada (AADNC) entre 2010 et 2015, a permis de recueillir des informations sur des sujets environnementaux et socioéconomiques régionaux afin d\u2019étayer des questions de réglementation et de gestion concernant l\u2019exploitation potentielle du pétrole et du gaz dans la mer de Beaufort. L\u2019EERB a permis de déterminer que des lacunes dans les connaissances de niveau 1 existaient pour les poissons et les habitats marins au large de la mer de Beaufort. Pêches et Océans Canada (MPO) a donc effectué un relevé initial des poissons marins et des paramètres connexes de l\u2019habitat et du réseau trophique de la mer de Beaufort, soit le Projet sur les poissons marins de la mer de Beaufort.<\/span><\/p><p><span /><\/p><p><span>Les objectifs du Projet sur les poissons marins de la mer de Beaufort étaient d\u2019établir des valeurs de référence régionales pour : 1) l\u2019occurrence, la diversité, l\u2019abondance relative et la répartition des poissons marins hauturiers; 2) les associations entre les poissons, les paramètres physiques et chimiques de l\u2019habitat et la disponibilité des proies; 3) les liens existant avec les écosystèmes et les flux énergétiques à l\u2019intérieur des habitats marins et entre ceux-ci (c.-à-d. plateau côtier, plateau extracôtier, talus, talus en eau profonde et zone pélagique).<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>",
