Final report of the Environmental Audit of the East Bayfront/Port Industrial Area. In its entirety, that audit assessed ecosystem health in pathways. Chapter 1 of this report explores the ecosystem approach and the notion of ecosystem integrity. Chapter 2 examines the physical structures of the study and area ecosystem, the habitats, both for humans and other organisms, and their historical development. Chapter 3 examines how the ecosystem functions, the ecological processes in the area and the regional relationships, and includes a preliminary assessment of ecosystem health. Chapter 4 examines the way in which decisions are made about ecosystems, including issues of stewardship and accountability raised during the audit that affect ecosystem integrity. Finally, chapter 5 presents some opportunities to overcome obstacles presented by environmental conditions and to improve ecosytem integrity in the area.
