Russell, J, G.S. Fraser and J. Ellis 2006. Colouring in the Offshore: an Atlas of Endangered Marine Species and Oil and Gas Activity off Newfoundland and Labrador, CD-ROM. Alder Institute, NL. Approximately 80 pages of text.

In 2006 the Alder Institute together with our research associates Gail Fraser of York University and Joanne Ellis released a CD-ROM entitled Colouring in the offshore: an atlas of endangered marine species and oil and gas activity off Newfoundland and Labrador.

Colouring in the Offshore is an introduction to the location of six marine Species at Risk and offshore oil and gas activities off Newfoundland Labrador and the legislative context in which they exist. Species covered: Blue Whale, Harlequin Duck, Ivory Gull and three species of Wolffish (Northern, Spotted and nd Atlantic or Striped).

Designed for use by a non-specialist audience. Interactive geo-referenced maps are supplemented by introductory background text.

Funding for the production of Colouring in the Offshore was provided in part by Environment Canada's Habitat Stewardship Program for Species at Risk.

Colouring in the Offshore was distributed to schools in Newfoundland and Labrador as part of an educational package distributed by the Protected Areas Association.

There are still some copies available.
