Review the Ecosystem Based Management (EBM) concepts and the six key aspects of EBM as described below:
Integration of ecological, social, and economic goals and
recognition of humans as key components of the ecosystem.
Consideration of ecological–not just political–boundaries.
Accounting for the complexity of natural processes and social
systems, and using an adaptive management approach in the face of
resulting uncertainties.
Engaging multiple stakeholders in a collaborative
process to define problems and find solutions.
Incorporating understanding of ecosystem processes and
how ecosystems respond to environmental perturbations.
Concerned with the ecological integrity of
coastal-marine (or any other) systems and the sustainability of
both human and ecological systems.
Identify a Canadian company that works primarily in the industry provided to you by the Professor in Unit 2. This company should have the following characteristics:
It should work mostly, if not entirely, in the industry
provided.
It need not be an active company, but cannot be defunct for
more than 10 years.
While active it must have embarked on a significant and well
publicized or documented expansion or project.
Conduct research into the company’s expansion, using the six
aspects of EBM as starting points and focus of your investigation.
Please note that the six aspects of EBM can apply to all
ecosystems. Please ensure that you adapt the generic meaning of
each of the aspects to the specifics of the ecosystem(s) you are
investigating.
Write an essay in which you evaluate whether the expansion or
project was an EBM success or failure. The essay should
be approximately 2000 words (± 200 words),
begin with a concise abstract (1-2 paragraph overview to the
topic, research conducted and conclusions),
use sound research to support the analysis and equally sound
reasoning in arguing whether the expansion or project was an EBM
success or failure,
summarize your findings in a concise conclusion,
be supported by a minimum of nine sources (and at least three
of these must be a peer reviewed academic journal article), and
use APA style formatting in the organization and referencing
of your research.
