Project Team Jason Googoo, Project Manager Rosalie Francis, Project Advisor Dave Moore, Author and Research Craig Hodder, Author and GIS Technician Andrea Moore, Research and Database Assistant Katy McEwan, MEKS Interviewer Mary Ellen Googoo, MEKS Interviewer Lawrence Wells Sr., MEKS traditionalist Prepared by: Reviewed by: ___________________ ____________________ Dave Moore, Author Jason Googoo, Manager i Executive Summary This Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Study, also commonly referred to as MEKS or a TEKS, was developed by Membertou Geomatics Consultants for the Nova Scotia Department of Energy and Minas Basin Pulp and Power Co Ltd on behalf of the Fundy Ocean Research Centre for Energy (FORCE). In January 2008, the Province of Nova Scotia announced that Minas Basin Pulp and Power Co Ltd. had been awarded the opportunity to construct a tidal energy testing and research facility in the Minas Basin, known as the Fundy Tidal Energy Demonstration Facility. This Facility will be managed by a non-profit corporation called FORCE. The objectives of this study are twofold; - to undertake a broad MEKS study for the Bay of Fundy Phase I Area as it may relate to future renewable energy projects i.e. wind, tidal and wave, specifically in Phase 1 area of the Bay of Fundy ( as identified in MGC Proposal - Minas Channel and Minas Basin), and - to undertake a more focused MEKS review specific to the Fundy Tidal Energy Demonstration Project area which would consider the land and water area potentially affected by the project, identify what is the Mi’kmaq traditional use activity that has or is currently taking place within the Project Site and Study Area and what Mi’kmaq ecological knowledge presently exists in regards to the Project Site and Study Area.

  • Commercial Benefits of Nova Scotia's Protected Areas
    Commercial Benefits of Nova Scotia’s Protected Areas Submitted to: Nova Scotia Environment Submitted by: Gardner Pinfold Consultants Inc. October 2017 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Protected areas throughout the world perform many functions and are essential for conserving biodiversity, delivering vital ecosystem services, providing environments for research and education, and contributing significantly to local and regional economies. Currently, about 12.4% of Nova Scotia’s landmass is considered legally protected, which contributes to a worldwide effort to protect wild spaces and secure societal benefits derived from such spaces. The purpose of this project was to analyze the commercial benefits associated with protected areas in Nova Scotia (particularly wilderness areas and nature reserves). The following report examines the current situation and identifies opportunities to enhance commercial benefits associated with protected areas. It outlines barriers to achieving benefits and provides recommendations on how opportunities may be realized. There is a broad range of commercial activities that occur in association with protected areas in Nova Scotia. Most are businesses that derive income from offering services that either make direct use of protected areas (e.g. kayak outfitters, hunting guides) or that benefit from indirect relationships with protected areas (e.g. accommodations operators, camps, educators, and other non-profits). The following report profiles a select number of protected area clusters and include key features and current commercial activities. Interviews with key stakeholders resulted in the identification of a core set of benefits, associated with the commercial use and development of protected areas in the province, including: • The creation of a positive investment climate. • Their contribution to the Nova Scotia tourism sector.
