Figure 6.1-1NAFO Divisions on the Grand BanksThe proposed White Rose project, along with the Terra Nova and Hibernia developments, is located inNAFO Division 3L, in NAFO unit area 3Lt (Figure 6.1-1). The fishery in 3L is predominantly a fixedgear fishery and is mostly conducted by Newfoundland vessels under 35 ft fishing closer to shore. Themost intensive fishing activity typically occurs between June and September.In 3Lt, the groundfish fishery (northern cod and American plaice) made up 99 percent of the catch byweight in 1987. In 1998, the fishery in this area was dominated by snow crab (98 percent of landedvalue). Other important fisheries (existing and anticipated) near White Rose are shrimp, Greenlandhalibut, and perhaps American plaice and northern cod during the later part of the operation anddecommissioning phases of the project. Fishing activity has generally not been predominant in theproject area, with fish catches in the project area being lower than elsewhere in 3L. Between 1992 and1998, fish catches in 3Lt made up only 1 percent of the total catches (by volume) in 3L.White Rose DA Project Summary • January 2001 Page 90
6.2 Effects and Mitigative Measures6.2.1 Business and EmploymentWhite Rose will have a range of positive economic effects throughout the construction/installation andoperations phases in particular, but also in terms of its cumulative effects in conjunction with otheroffshore and industrial projects. The positive effects anticipated reflect, in part, Husky Oil’scommitment to Canada-Newfoundland benefits, which will ensure that a broad range of business,employment and industrial benefits result from the project during both the development and operationsphases. These will affect the province as a whole, but mainly those areas containing companies thatsecure construction contracts, and the St. John’s area, which will be the base for operations. During theoperation phase for the project, direct employment is expected to require a permanent workforce ofapproximately 370 to 375 persons on-shore and offshore in the first four to five years of operations.Indirect and induced employment effects will add to this.The potential for Canadian and Newfoundland involvement in project construction and operationsactivity could potentially be constrained by industrial and labour capability and capacity. The businessand employment effects of the project will depend not only on the existing business capabilities andlabour force and how they might be increased or enhanced, but also on other cumulative demands onthem. However, given the current project schedule, there will be only limited conflicts betweenindustrial and labour requirements of White Rose and those of other major projects. The project willlikely not result in negative economic effects, such as wage or price inflation.There will be similar demands on infrastructure and labour required for operations. However, this is notviewed as problematic, given that such demand provides long-term opportunities, justifying investmentsin infrastructure and training. There is a high level of awareness, within the federal and provincialgovernment, industry and training institutions of the need to plan and prepare for future labourrequirements.There will also be important secondary or multiplier effects that can be wide-ranging and long-term.The oil industry as a whole is having a transformative effect on companies and workers as they developnew skills and capabilities that make them highly competitive in Newfoundland’s oil industry andelsewhere. Similarly, oil industry-related industrial infrastructure, research and education are increasingthe likelihood of and potential for Newfoundland benefits from further offshore petroleum projects.Overall, the project will further contribute to this growing industry and, hence, to the furtherdevelopment and diversification of the Newfoundland economy.White Rose DA Project Summary • January 2001 Page 91
