Cumulative effects assessment (CEA) seeks to overcome the weaknesses inherent in conventional project-focused environmental assessment by expanding the spatial and temporal boundaries of the assessment. In this study, the assessment boundaries include the six broad systems contained in Kouchibouguac National Park, New Brunswick, as well as the park as a whole and land outside but adjacent to park boundaries. The first section is a brief overview of cumulative effects, CEA, and the CEA approach used in the study. The second section introduces the park's natural and cultural resources along with the natural changes occurring within the park. The third section reviews legislation, policy, and plants guiding park management in order to identify the goals and targets critical for focusing the study and for evaluating the importance of effects. The fourth section describes past, present, and proposed projects and activities in the park and region and their environmental effects. The final section identifies important cumulative effects issues and discusses the importance of these effects.
This report proposes a framework that promotes cumulative impact assessment (CEA) as a decision-making process where information on the ecological integrity of national parks is integrated into park management planning. Research for the development of the framework includes a literature review, interviews with park managers and cumulative effects specialists, and field work in two Atlantic region parks. Two illustrations using a project from each park helped refine the framework and ensure its utility. The framework links three components: sources of cumulative environmental change, assessment of this change, and the options available to manage cumulative effects. The framework establishes a link between local effects induced by specific projects or activities and overall park ecological integrity by highlighting the relationship between project-specific environmental assessment and park planning. CEA is the bridge between these two management activities. The report focuses mainly on the assessment portion of the framework and provides a series of steps to assist in conducting CEAs. The steps are organized into three tiers of analysis that correlate with regional, park, and project site scales. The framework also directs the assessor to examine broad temporal scales.
Proceedings of a workshop on the research activities and community action taking place in many estuaries of the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence. Topics of papers include: environmental monitoring, research opportunities, environment and resource management projects, ecotourism, hydrology and physical oceanography, barrier islands, plant productivity, plankton, fungi and bacteria in streams, fish studies, parasites as indicators of stresses, coastal lagoons, use of estuaries by migratory birds, environmental contaminants, and integrated coastal management.
The purpose of this study was to determine the spawning status of striped bass (Morone saxatilis) in the Kouchibouguac and Richibucto estuaries, eastern New Brunswick, in 1997 & 1998. In the spring and summer of both years, the pelagic spawning & littoral rearing habitat of the estuaries were sampled for ichthyoplankton and juvenile fish. The secondary objective was to use the sampling surveys to describe the fish communities of the estuaries during the ice-free seasons. The surveys were intended to detect any major differences in species assemblages between these two small neighbouring estuaries. The final section discusses species composition, striped bass spawning status, and the presence of young-of-the-year striped bass.
Kouchibouguac National Park staff initiated an angler survey & creel census in 1990. Objectives of this project were to gather demographic data on the anglers, determine fishing effort at various locations, calculate catch per hour for individual anglers & the catch per species, and determine age, length, & weight of individual fish. Anglers were interviewed during the 1990, 1991, 1992, and 1996 fishing seasons using a roving staff method. This report describes the application of the roving creel census technique to early season recreational trout fisheries in two major river systems & several brooks within the park. Study results & conclusions are presented and some recommendations are made regarding future surveys. A copy of the angler survey questionnaire is included.
Describes a study that investigated the effects of bog habitat type, bog water pH, and aluminium concentration on the amphibian distribution as well as the relationship of amphibian activity with precipitation and day of year within a peat bog in Kouchibougouac National Park, New Brunswick. Four species of amphibians were trapped in the study: green frog (Rana clamitans), wood frog (R. sylvatica), leopard frog (R. pipiens), and red-backed salamander (Plethodon cinereus). Regression analyses were used to determine relationships among variables. The results suggest a role for bogs as amphibian summer habitat.
A two day workshop on Research and Monitoring in the Greater Kouchibouguac Ecosystem was held in Richibucto on November 1995. Participants from several federal and provincial departments, as well as conservation groups and universities gathered together during these two days of exchange on the research and monitoring work they were doing, not only in KNP, but also in the surrounding areas. This final product of the workshop constitutes a compendium of short papers from several speakers presentations (not all speakers submitted a paper). The reader will find a wide range of papers on different topics from sand dune dynamics to paleobotanical work in bogs to fisheries impacts on a tern colony to clam population assessment. This variety of papers reflects the holistic approach that Kouchibouguac National Park's conservation staff are taking towards ecosystem management.
Summarizes preliminary data on the physico-chemical characteristics and plankton composition of the Kouchibouguac and St. Louis estuaries in Kouchibouguac National Park, New Brunswick. Data come from sampling in May to November 1997 at 14 stations representing estuarine habitats in the tidal rivers, lagoons, and outside the barrier islands. Data presented include phytoplankton and zooplankton species composition, water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, light penetration, and nutrient concentrations.
Our Landscape Heritage provides an overview of the history and ecological makeup of the landscapes of New Brunswick to help ecological seekers starting out with basic knowledge about geology, soils, climate, and vegetation, to better understand why plants and animals are today distributed as they are. Part I outlines the rationale and history of ecological land classification (ELC) in New Brunswick, and presents basic scientific concepts and facts that help the reader to interpret the information that follows. Part II, Portrait of New Brunswick Ecoregions and Ecodistricts presents a detailed look at the variety and distribution of ecosystems across the geographic expanse of New Brunswick. Each of the seven chapters of Part II provides a high level description of the ecoregion, followed by detailed descriptions of each ecodistrict within the ecoregion.--Includes text from document.
