Welcome to Chez Coastale

1. Welcome to Chez Coastale Tired of that old IM recipe? Try using Risk to add zest Presented by John A. Legault Fisheries and Oceans Canada

2. Integrated Management Stew • Silly analogy – Maybe • Silly information – NO • For the past 20 or more years, Integrated Management has been identified as a key process to try to minimize the human impact on ecosystems while maintaining a healthy socio-economic engine to sustainable prosperity.

3. Characteristics of Integrated ManagementIntegration in this context means the integration of: • All stakeholders and regulators in a common planning process • Planning for all sectors of activity in one common process • All values: economic, environmental, social and cultural in the decision-making • Many forms of knowledge – both traditionally and scientifically derived • Many legislative instruments to manage as a whole • Efforts and resources in implementing decisions and monitoring consequences

4. The J oy DFO of Integrated Management Cooking DFO’s own recipe • Define Area • Engage Affected Interests • Develop an I.M. Plan • Endorsement of the Plan • Implement the I.M. Plan • Monitor, Evaluate and Revise the I.M. Plan

5. Ecosystem Risk Assessment:a new spice

6. Ecosystem Risk Assessment • The ERA effectively uses the data collection and analytical process of Risk Analysis. Risk Analysis is a tool intended to provide decision-makers with an objective, repeatable and documented assessment of the risks posed by a particular course of action. • RA answers the following questions (MacDiarmid, 1997): – What can go wrong? – How likely is it to go wrong? – What could be the consequences of it going wrong? • Ecosystem Risk Assessment (ERA) is a systematic way of gathering, evaluating, recording and disseminating information and data to determine the likelihood that adverse ecological effects may occur or are occurring as a result of exposure to one or more stressors. • ERA is a tool / process to help understand and predict the relationships between stressors and ecological effects in a way that is useful to environmental decision making.

7. Why use the Risk Analysis process in Ecosystem Risk Assessment • Risk analysis is an internationally accepted and standardized decision-making process for assessing and developing protocols and actions for the protection of human and animal health. • It works!

8. Rules to cook by You don’t use all the ingredients in the kitchen at once – they’re not all needed ! Remember the old adage – too many cooks spoil the broth – well it’s true

9. Administration / Governments / First Nations / Municipalities / Planners / Groups / Organizations Major Drivers Industry / Manufacturing Agriculture Fisheries Forestry Tourism Retail / wholesale Municipalities On and on … The Kitchen Staff • Executive Chefs • Chefs de Cuisine • Sous-chefs • Expediters • Station Chefs • Saucier • Poissonier • Rotisseur • Grillardin • Friturier • Vegetable Chef • Roundsman • Butcher • Pastry Chef • Apprentice • Communard • Escuelerie In this I.M. kitchen …everyone plays a role …but it’s important that they each do their part at the appropriate time.

10. Integrated Management StewWe’ve got a new ingredient but it’s a slow cook recipe • Start with basic I.M. recipe • Obtain 1 organic ECOSYSTEM UNIT – watershed, bay, ocean • with full complement of VALUED ECOSYSTEM COMPONENTS • Use only the ECOSYSTEM SERVICES, set the rest aside • Stir in SOCIO-ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES and CULTURAL demands • Make sure all the RISKS have been pulled out and saved for later • Combine 1 part - PROVINCIAL agencies, 1 part - FEDERAL agencies • Allow to mellow with STAKEHOLDERS

11. Integrated Management StewWe’ve got a new ingredient but it’s a slow cook recipe • Mix RISKS with the following dry ingredients: • 1 part – REGULATIONS • 1 part – GUIDELINES • Add pinches of BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES Mix until most RISKS are absorbed, scoop out RESIDUAL RISKS Dissolve RESIDUALRISKS with CHANGES IN ATTITUDE • Bake in ECOSYSTEM RISK MANAGEMENT oven at 98.6F (37C) for years

12. What’s so special about ERA? • The process itself is • Systematic and Consistent • Demands accountability of the players to the players • Appropriate at any scale • Holistic to the ecosystem unit • The issues/risks are dealt with in the same manner • Compare onions to onions
