In EffetsCumulatifsNavigation/ceanav: Research compendium for project on the assessment cumulative effects of marine vessel activities in the St. Lawrence

Marine mammals {#vulnmm}

We thank Sonia Giroux of the Marine Mammal Observation Network and Marie Guilpin of the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research for their discussions and support.

The previous section presents the different criteria used to characterize species vulnerability to environmental stressors. Vulnerability of marine mammals was assessed using the set of criteria presented in table \@ref(tab:vulnerabilitySpecies) and the equation presented in the previous section.

The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) federal statuses were used to determine the status of marine mammal species.

The final vulnerability scores are available in Table \@ref(fig:mmvuln) and the individual criteria assessment tables by marine mammal species are available in Appendix 9.
