  • Regional Geology of the Scotian Basin
    REGIONAL GEOLOGY OF THE SCOTIAN BASIN David E. Brown, CNSOPB, 2008 INTRODUCTION The Scotian Basin is a classic passive, mostly non-volcanic, conjugate margin. It represents over 250 million years of continuous sedimentation recording the region's dynamic geological history from the initial opening of the Atlantic Ocean to the recent post-glacial deposition. The basin is located on the northeastern flank of the Appalachian Orogen and covers an area of approximately 300,000 km2 with an estimated maximum sediment thickness of about 24 kilometers. The continental-size drainage system of the paleo-St. Lawrence River provided a continuous supply of sediments that accumulated in a number of complex, interconnected subbasins. The basin's stratigraphic succession contains early synrift continental, postrift carbonate margin, fluvial-deltaic-lacustrine, shallow marine and deepwater depositional systems. PRERIFT The Scotian Basin is located offshore Nova Scotia where it extends for 1200 km from the Yarmouth Arch / United States border in the southwest to the Avalon Uplift on the Grand Banks of Newfoundland in the northeast (Figure 1). With an average breadth of 250 km, the total area of the basin is approximately 300,000 km2. Half of the basin lies on the present-day continental shelf in water depths less than 200 m with the other half on the continental slope in water depths from 200 to >4000 m. The Scotian Basin formed on a passive continental margin that developed after North America rifted and separated from the African continent during the breakup of Pangea (Figure 2). Its tectonic elements consist of a series of platforms and depocentres separated by basement ridges and/or major basement faults.

This series of twelve hot chocolate mugs depicts the develop - ment of the steam locomotive in Canada from the 0-6-0 "Samson", to the CPR 2-10-4 #8000. The mugs are being offered by the Quaker Oats Company of Cana­ da to salute Canada's Centennial, and the part played by the rail­ ways and their steam locomotives in furthering the pro ~ ress of the nation. Each cup pictures an authentic locomotive design -- one shows a Canadian Northern 2-8-0, a type of locomotive that made a major contribution to the country's prairie economy by moving grain from the Western provinces to the Lakehead -- another shows one of the Canadian Pacific's ubiquitous D-10 engines.

  • Country Note on Fisheries Management Systems -- Canada
    COUNTRY NOTE ON FISHERIES MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS -- CANADA 1. Overview of Canadian Fisheries 1. Canada has traditionally benefited from the abundant fisheries resources in some of the world’s most productive marine and freshwater systems. These rich fisheries resources have maintained an important fishing industry that provides employment and supports the livelihood of hundreds of small communities in coastal areas. 2. In addition, there is a large recreational fisheries sector comprised of some 3.6 million anglers with annual expenditures of close to CAD 4.7 billion exclusively on sport fishing activities and investments. Furthermore, fishing has been entrenched in the daily life of Canadian aboriginal people in more than 300 First Nations who participate in fisheries for food, social and ceremonial purposes. 3. Aside from capture fisheries, aquaculture has been growing rapidly in Canada. In 1986, the total farm gate value of aquaculture was CAD 35 million. By 2000, production had increased to CAD 600 million, of which 81% was salmon. Trout, mussels and oysters are also major aquaculture species. 4. Canada’s commercial fisheries operate in three broad regions - along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and inland (mainly near the Great Lakes and Lake Winnipeg). The last decade has seen major changes in the Canadian commercial fisheries on both coasts. The collapse of the Atlantic groundfishery in the early 1990s and the subsequent failure of Pacific salmon fishery in the mid-1990s -- the two traditional staple species in the Atlantic and Pacific fisheries respectively -- have completely changed the landscape of the Canadian fishing industry. 5. The rapid expansion of shrimp and crab fisheries along with continuing strong price performance for shellfish in general, have not only made shellfish the most dominant sector on the Atlantic coast but also brought the overall landed value past the historical record prior to the groundfish moratoria.

  • Community Management in the Inshore Groundfish Fishery on the Canadian Scotian Shelf
    101 Community management in the inshore groundfish fishery on the Canadian Scotian Shelf F.G. Peacock Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Maritimes Region PO Box 1035, Dartmouth Nova Scotia, B2Y 4T3 Canada [email protected] Christina Annand Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Maritimes Region PO Box 1035, Dartmouth Nova Scotia, B2Y 4T3 Canada [email protected] 1. HISTORY LEADING TO COMMUNITY MANAGEMENT The groundfish fishery in Atlantic Canada is arguably the most complex fishery in Canada. Groundfish is the generalized term for a number of species of fish, mostly gadoid that are harvested separately or collectively by many fleets involving thousands of fishermen throughout Atlantic Canada. This chapter will focus on the inshore, fixed-gear sector of relatively small, inshore vessels 10–14 metres in length. This sector uses handline, longline and gillnet gear to harvest groundfish along the Scotian Shelf, in the Bay of Fundy and on Georges Bank (see Figure 1). Groundfish fishing by this sector involves seven separate and distinct fleets harvesting mostly cod, haddock, pollock, flatfish, halibut, redfish and a variety of bycatch species. Following establishment of the 200-mile limit in 1977, Canada began to develop an extensive domestic groundfish fishery that utilized both inshore and offshore fixed and mobile gear. Harvest expansion in the 1980s was followed by significant declines in species populations and associated harvest levels. Harvest moratoria were implemented for several cod resources in Atlantic Canada FIGURE 1 during the early 1990s and several of these Scotian Shelf, Bay of Fundy, and Georges Bank fishing areas moratoria continue today. On the Scotian Shelf, these included haddock stocks and cods stocks in areas 4V and 4W.

Executive Summary BP Canada Energy Group ULC (the proponent) proposes to conduct an offshore exploration drilling program within its offshore Exploration Licences located in the Atlantic Ocean between 230 and 370 kilometres southeast of Halifax, Nova Scotia. The Scotian Basin Exploration Drilling Project (the Project) would consist of up to seven exploration wells drilled in the period from 2018 to 2022. The Project would occur over one or more drilling campaigns. The first phase, consisting of one or two wells, would be based on the results of BP Exploration (Canada) Limited’s Tangier 3D Seismic Survey conducted in 2014.

  • An Ocean of Diversity: the Seabeds of the Canadian Scotian Shelf
    An Ocean of Diversity The Seabeds of the Canadian Scotian Shelf and Bay of Fundy From above the waves, the expansive ocean waters off Nova Scotia and New Brunswick conceal the many different landscapes, habitats and ecological communities that lie beneath. As the glaciers retreated they left a complex system of shallow banks, steep-walled canyons, deep basins, patches of bare rock and boulders. WWF-Canada and Fisheries and Oceans Canada have worked with respected scientists to create a new map of seabed (or ocean bottom) features of the region. This new map will be used to help guide the design of a network of marine protected areas (MPAs) in the Scotian Shelf and Bay of Fundy regions. Mapping seabed features Marine animals and ecosystems are difficult to survey, and we do not have complete, continuous maps of the distribution of species and communities in our region — in fact, new species are still being discovered. But species are adapted to particular physical characteristics of their habitat, such as the levels of light reaching the seafloor, the range of water temperature, and the type of seafloor, from bedrock to sand to mud. This relationship allows us to use readily-available information about physical characteristics to create a more comprehensive picture of the different habitat types — and therefore ecological communities — that can be found in the region. This is the approach taken in the development of the Seabed Features map. Marine geologist Gordon Fader brought together scientific studies, high resolution seabed mapping, and his own extensive knowledge of the region to define areas based on their shape (morphology) and the geological history that formed them.
