  • Fisheries and Oceans Activities in the North 1979-80
    • Goverr.ment of Canada Gouvernernent du Canada I ' Fisheries and Oceans Peches et Oceans FISHERIES AND OCEANS ACTIVITIES IN THE NORTH 1979-80 SH 223 C2813 19 ~o D Fisheries and Oceans Activities In the North 1979-80 INTRODUCTION The growing economic importance of Canada's northern regions, particularly as a source for oil and gas and mineral exploitation, has meant a dramatic increase in the responsibilities and activities of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans in these areas. Not only must the department take action to ensure that fish and marine mammal resources of the North are protected from the various forms of industrial encroachment and are not over-exploited, but it also has a responsibility for producing adequate marine navigation charts for northern waters as well as acquiring the necessary marine science expertise to advise industry and other government departments in many critical areas. The following pages provide a summary of DFO's activities north of 60° during the fiscal year 1979-80, and preview activities for 1980-81. This text will appear as part of the annual publication "Government Activities in the North", produced by the Advisory Committee on Northern Development. GOVERNMENT ACTIVITIES IN THE NORTH - 1979-80 Department of Fisheries and Oceans Responsibilities The department is responsible for fisheries research and management throughout the Canadian North, drawing its authority from several acts, including the significant Fisheries Act. The department implements oceanographic and hydrographic programs and coordinates ocean policies and programs of the federal government. Organization and responsibilities with respect to Fisheries Arctic fisheries management occurs under two regions, the Pacific (Yukon) and the Western (NWT).

  • Redacted for Privacy Abstract Approved: John V
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF MIAH ALLAN BEAL for the Doctor of Philosophy (Name) (Degree) in Oceanography presented on August 12.1968 (Major) (Date) Title:Batymety and_Strictuof_thp..4rctic_Ocean Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: John V. The history of the explordtion of the Central Arctic Ocean is reviewed.It has been only within the last 15 years that any signifi- cant number of depth-sounding data have been collected.The present study uses seven million echo soundings collected by U. S. Navy nuclear submarines along nearly 40, 000 km of track to construct, for the first time, a reasonably complete picture of the physiography of the basin of the Arctic Ocean.The use of nuclear submarines as under-ice survey ships is discussed. The physiography of the entire Arctic basin and of each of the major features in the basin are described, illustrated and named. The dominant ocean floor features are three mountain ranges, generally paralleling each other and the 40°E. 140°W. meridian. From the Pacific- side of the Arctic basin toward the Atlantic, they are: The Alpha Cordillera; The Lomonosov Ridge; andThe Nansen Cordillera. The Alpha Cordillera is the widest of the three mountain ranges. It abuts the continental slopes off the Canadian Archipelago and off Asia across more than550of longitude on each slope.Its minimum width of about 300 km is located midway between North America and Asia.In cross section, the Alpha Cordillera is a broad arch rising about two km, above the floor of the basin.The arch is marked by volcanoes and regions of "high fractured plateau, and by scarps500to 1000 meters high.The small number of data from seismology, heat flow, magnetics and gravity studies are reviewed.The Alpha Cordillera is interpreted to be an inactive mid-ocean ridge which has undergone some subsidence.
