Abstract
wildlife law to the 200-mile exclusive economic zone.However, some federal legal decisions have restricted these laws to the 12-nautical-mile territorial zone.Offshore pollution monitoring flights are made by Transport Canada and by the Canadian Coastguard; the Department of National Defence and Department of Fisheries and Oceans are encouraged as well.Although the Canadian Shipping Act, the Migratory Bird Convention Act, the Canadian Environmental Protection Act and the Fisheries Act deal with oil pollution issues, suspected ships have rarely been turned back to a Canadian port for further investigations.Only the Migratory Bird Convention Act protects migratory seabirds from oil-related offences; but so far, only five vessels were charged.Knowing that approximately 2500 offshore oil spills are reported per year in Atlantic Canada, one gets quickly an idea of the issue.Obviously, pollution pays … and as the report convincingly shows, the pollutor gets almost awarded due to the competitive business advantage when not punished.Atlantic Canada is simply the cheapest place to dump bilge oil on the Great Circle route between North Atlantic and Europe.No doubt, the enforcement needs to be stronger in Canada, higher fines are required, and on board disposal facilities, increased monitoring, increased awareness and other measures are necessary.Even the European Union uses RADARDSAT (SAR), a satellite image product from Canada, in order to trace and to monitor offshore oil pollution.As Wiese's WWF report presents, Canada does not really have a national standard for an EDA (Environmental Damage Assessment).It is surprising that the exact number on "how many seabirds are really oiled" is hard to get and not available with high accuracy; accurate numbers seem not to play a role in the legal decision and discussion even!Perhaps court fines should consider a price per oiled seabird, and thus could change the current dilemma?!This document reports that approximately 40 million pelagic seabirds reside during the year on the Grand Banks off Newfoundland.However, some of the presented numbers are puzzling and might cause

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
