Continuation
of Arctic Nearshore Impact Monitoring In Development Area (cANIMIDA)
The study “Continuation of Arctic Nearshore Impact Monitoring In
Development Area” (cANIMIDA) is continuing the monitoring (initiated in
1999 as ANIMIDA) of impacts associated with production of oil from the
Northstar Unit and any other development activities that may take place in
the nearshore portion of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) in the Beaufort
Sea. The cANIMIDA will 1) provide a basis of continuity and consistency
in evaluation of potential impacts and 2) have the flexibility to
incorporate new monitoring issues for any upcoming development and
production in this study area. Indicator matrices for each of the
technical tasks being conducted through cANIMIDA have been developed to
link key monitoring parameters to BOEMRE decision making. A Study Profile
and the indicator matrices developed for each of the ongoing technical
tasks are provided below.
