BIOREX: TOP ENVIRONMENTAL EXPERTISE
The first consulting firm in Quebec to specialize in marine
biology, sea fisheries and the ocean environment, BIOREX is now
an acknowledged leader in these fields.
BIOREX has a solid footing in eastern Canada, particularly on
the
Atlantic coast, with a head office in Quebec City and operations
in Gaspé, Quebec, Caraquet, New Brunswick, and Dartmouth, Nova
Scotia.
The dynamics between aquatic organisms and their environment,
the
impact of human activities on aquatic, ocean and coastal
ecosystems and resources, site conservation and restoration,
responsible resource development, and aquaculture, are all among
the challenges that BIOREX has faced daily since its foundation
in 1978.
BIOREX provides services that require up-to-the-minute
information, mainly in the form of laboratory or field
assessments, consulting and expert advice.

credibility. Our teams have gained a reputation for high-
quality

Looking Ahead... Globally
Due to its acknowledged competence and a well-established
reputation, BIOREX has penetrated international fishing and
aquaculture. In the coming years, we plan to intensify our
activities abroad in fisheries resources management and marine
environment conservation. BIOREX welcomes the challenges of the
future.
Fishery Protection
Essential for Sustainable Resource Development
In Canada, the government and the fishing industry have
introduced fisheries observer programs to monitor ocean fishing.
BIOREX has been involved in the management of Canadian fisheries
observer programs since 1981, and today it has outstanding
expertise and irrefutable credibility in this area.
Well-Orchestrated Management
In order to manage the fisheries observer programs properly,
BIOREX has created a solid organization on the eastern coast.
The company has regional coordination offices and satellite
bases
of operations, standardized recruiting, training and supervision
procedures for technicians, and proven quality-control,
data-processing and data-transmission systems.
Stringent Quality Criteria
BIOREX has powerful management tools that enable it to provide
fishery surveillance services that have all the essential
features of such programs: independence from the observed parties;
enhanced operating efficiency;
a very high degree of integrity;
highly-skilled teams of observers;
flexibility to adapt to the changing needs of government and
industry.
Exportable Know-How
Canada's fisheries observer programs are recognized world-wide
for their outstanding quality. A number of countries have based
similar programs on ours. BIOREX has already helped to
implement
such programs in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, and has helped
to
train observers from several countries in Europe, Africa and
Asia.
BIOREX's contribution to the development and management of the
Canadian programs, combined with its international experience,
make it a first-rate partner for introducing observer programs
elsewhere in the world.

Who are Fisheries Observers?
Fisheries observers are independent technicians who monitor and
compile detailed data on fishing activities for reports to
governments and industry. These observers work on board
national
and foreign vessels fishing in national or international waters.
The data collected are essential for fishery protection and for
evaluation and management of several major national and
international resources.

Canadian Fisheries Observer Program
In Canada, the fisheries observer program is a large-scale
operation with four regional coordination offices, a dozen
observer bases and over 250 permanent employees.
INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT OF WATERSHEDS AND COASTAL ZONES
An All-Encompassing, Unified Approach
BIOREX's activities in aquatic and marine environments are based
on integrated management of watersheds and of coastal zones.
These new ecosystem-based approaches require the agreement of
local and regional authorities. BIOREX has made a substantial
contribution to the introduction of this type of management in
Quebec.
A True Picture of the Environment
BIOREX's ability to compile a true picture of the status of
freshwater, estuary and ocean ecosystems is, and has always
been,
one of its areas of excellence. The BIOREX team looks at the
biophysical and socioeconomic aspects of the environment with
site inventories, investigations and consultation of all kinds
of
databases.
Once the information has been collected and processed, BIOREX
can
produce an environmental status report, a geographical
information system database or an ecological zoning report. It
can also identify the potentials and constraints of the area
studied. Analysis and integration of data make for fair,
enlightened decision making and pave the way for coordinated
conservation, restoration and development.
Preserving Our Heritage
The first aim of integrated management is to conserve resources
and their supporting environments. BIOREX has developed an
original approach to help local, regional and national groups
recognize conservation needs and develop management plans for
protected areas.
Ecosystem Restoration
The experts at BIOREX can also play a key role in restoring
aquatic and marine environments that have been disturbed by
pollution or physical changes. Feasibility studies, action
plans, and follow-up are some of the methods used.
With its extensive experience, the BIOREX team can quickly
identify problems and find the most effective and profitable
environmental solutions.
Environmentally Responsible Development
Specialized in the design of development plans for aquatic,
coastal and ocean environments, BIOREX contributes to economic
diversification in coastal regions in a context of sustainable
development.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
To Achieve and Maintain a Healthy Environment
BIOREX has developed outstanding expertise in doing
environmental
impact studies for projects or operations in aquatic and ocean
environments. Its studies provide developers and regulatory
authorities with all the information they need to make wise
decisions.
Preliminary Studies
With the experience acquired since its foundation in 1978,
BIOREX
can handle all facets of environmental assessment and impact
studies for projects in water (lakes, waterways, oceans) and
coastal environments. Studies range from the description of the
project and components of the natural and human environments to
the development of measures to prevent, reduce or eliminate the
probable repercussions of the project.
This expertise can also be used in impact studies of industrial,
mining, hydroelectric and other projects.
Compliance Audits
To assess the compliance of existing facilities, BIOREX uses
various procedures, including environmental site assessment,
compliance audits and environmental monitoring.
