The Beaufort Regional Environmental Assessment (BREA) is a multi-stakeholder initiative to sponsor regional environmental and socio-economic research that will make historical information available and gather new information vital to the future management of oil and gas in the Beaufort Sea.
The BREA will help ensure governments, Inuvialuit, and industry are better prepared for oil and gas exploration and development in the offshore by building upon the regional information base for the Beaufort Sea. This will support effective and efficient regulatory decision-making by providing the necessary scientific and socio-economic information to all stakeholders.
