Information on activities other than fishing (offshore oil and gas) in the NAFO Convention Area: Implications for the development of the Ecosystem Summary Sheets (Divisions 3LNO and 3M)

Updated available information on activities other than fishing in the NAFO Convention Area - with focus on oil and gas - was collected and summarized from publicly available data sources (e.g. websites and project reports). This information is relevant not only to produce advice on Commission Reques...
