	abstract = {Enbridge, a major pipeline company, has proposed a new pipeline termed the Gateway Project to transport increased crude oil production in the Alberta oil sands to market. The Gateway Project would include construction of a 1,100-1,300-kilometer crude oil pipeline from northern Alberta to British Columbia{\textquoteright}s (B.C.) north coast and a marine terminal to transport crude oil on tankers from the pipeline to U.S. and Asian markets. This report provides an overview of potential environmental impacts, socioeconomic effects, and institutional issues associated with the Gateway Project on Coastal First Nations in B.C. Pipelines, ports, and tankers have potential to create detrimental environmental effects and socioeconomic impacts on communities. In addition, an evaluation of current regulatory and approval processes for pipeline, port, and tanker projects reveals several deficiencies. To address these issues, Enbridge and Coastal First Nations should engage in a comprehensive impact and benefits agreement (IBA) negotiation and implementation process.  },
