Fisheries and Oceans Canada applied the Level 2 Risk Assessment framework to evaluate cumulative anthropogenic threats to the Endeavour Hydrothermal Vents Marine Protected Area ecosystem. The project improves upon single-activity or single-component assessments by evaluating risk from multiple activities to multiple ecosystem components. The data was last updated on April 23, 2026.
Use Cases
- Evaluating cumulative risk from multiple anthropogenic activities based on the framework's multi-threat approach
- Comparing relative risk to different Significant Ecological Components (SEC) within the protected area
- Supporting ecosystem-based management (EBM) decisions for the Endeavour Hydrothermal Vents MPA
Strengths
- Framework is based on international and national best practices, as described
- Data is provided by Fisheries and Oceans Canada, a governmental authority
- Files are available in multiple formats including CSV and DOCX
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
