Healthy ocean food webs are key to the socio-economic viability of coastal communities in British Columbia. The Vancouver Aquariums Coastal Ocean Research Institute (CORI) was established in 2014 to provide an ongoing assessment of the health of Canadas oceans. This project supports this strategic priority of the CORI initiative and advances the organizations mission to conserve aquatic resources though display, interpretation, education, research and activities. This study will develop new sustainable Environmental Quality (EQ) objectives that will allow managers to explore the implications of different pollution abatement options on the value of downstream coastal resources such as fisheries. Climate change and ocean pollution present a risk to the economies of coastal communities in British Columbia. New EQ Objectives that incorporate economic impacts associated with different management actions will improve the resilience of coastal communities into the future and advance the overall aim of enabling sustainable economic development on Canadas west coast.
