註釋The Beaufort Environmental Monitoring Project (BEMP) was initiated in 1983 by Indian and Northern Affairs Canada and Environment Canada. The program is to provide the technical basis for the design, operation and evaluation of a comprehensive and defensible environmental research monitoring program to accompany phased hydrocarbon development in the Beaufort Sea. This document is the report of the activities during the second year of the project and contains recommendations for future environmental studies. The primary activities during 1984-85 were a pre-workshop review of studies initiated since December 1983; preparation of project overviews describing the purpose of these investigations and their relationship to existing EBMP hypotheses; a workshop in early February 1985; and the preparation of this report. The workshop itself consisted of a hypothesis-by-hypothesis review of recent and ongoing studies, incorporation of this new information in the existing hypotheses, and preparation of recommendations for further research and monitoring. Due to a change in the development scenario involving the possible use of oil-base drilling fluids, a new hypothesis related to potential impacts of oil-contaminated cuttings discharge on anadromous fish was also formulated and evaluated at the 1985 workshop. Twenty hypotheses are presented, with commentary on each. Appendices contain a list of participants at the 1985 workshop, a response to the proposed new Valued Ecosystem Component, and a list of 1984/5 projects with principal investigators, affiliation, funding source, expected completion date and a brief description.
