Welcome
Integrated Management Planning in the Placentia Bay/Grand Banks Large Ocean Management Area (PB/GB LOMA) is a collaborative ocean and coastal planning process being led and facilitated by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), Newfoundland and Labrador Region, under Canada's Oceans Act. The primary aim of this initiative is to develop and implement an Integrated Management Plan for this large marine region.
Integrated Management (IM) is a comprehensive and collaborative approach to planning and managing human activities to achieve conservation, development and sustainable use of coastal and marine resources. The IM approach maintains the integrity or health of marine ecosystems while addressing and reducing user conflicts, and managing the cumulative impacts of a multitude of activities within a given ocean area.
