But the new Canadian Government is pretty awesome...In the mandate letter from our PM to
DFO:
“Work with the Minister of Environment
and Climate Change to increase the
proportion of Canada’s marine and
coastal areas that are protected – to five
percent by 2017, and ten percent by 2020
– supported by new investments in
community consultation and science.”

You just can’t put a GPS on larvae!

Vertical distribution vs Temperature● Behaviour varies by species
● Observing behaviours enables
modelling!

What is more important?Bio-physical interactions:
● Larval swimming behaviours
● Planktonic larval duration
● Larval release site
● Timing

Enter: charismatic megafauna
Giant California sea cucumber

The ‘cucumber’ questions:How does climate change affect larval dispersal?
● Dispersal distance?
● Degree of connectivity?
● Connectivity patterns
Identify “hotspots” of climate change sensitivity
● Limited to physical dispersal process

Descriptive summary● Dispersal distance will be more affected by temperature than by flow regime
● Changes in flow regime will increase the level of population connectivity
● Hotspots:
○ Between southern Haida Gwaii - Mainland
○ West coast Vancouver Island
○ Maybe northern SOG

● Designed from human+ecological data from BCMCA MARXAN analysis
● BCMCA+connectivity layer
Include spatially variable connectivity information into MARXAN analysis

Good Planning = Economic Benefit!
![Page 35: Optimizing Marine Protected Area Networks: The effects of climate change on larval dispersal and connectivity](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030315/587e9b661a28ab2a4a8b4615/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Future work: Putting the multi- in multi-approach● Does the genetic data support the biophysical model results? (Amanda Xuereb)
● Can we formulate theory that describes population persistence? (Ridouan Bani)
○ Negative covariance in connectivity = negative covariance in population fluctuations
● Can we include connectivity in a meaningful way into MPA planning
(MARXAN)? (Cassidy D’Aloia)
● Expand connectivity coverage for Atlantic Canada, and complete BEST-MPA case
study in BC (me)

Questions/DiscussionFocus on physical aspects of connectivity appropriate?
How to measure ‘success’ of connectivity?
Should MPA’s be climate refugia, or pathways to cooler climates?
How can (Canadian) scientist best position their science to provide useful advice?
