Lake Superior Canadian Baseline Coastal Habitat Survey

Lake Superior Canadian Baseline Coastal Habitat Survey Habitat and ecosystem data used to conduct a baseline survey of coastal habitat in Lake Superior, Nipigon Bay, and Black Bay are included in this dataset. The Lake Superior Survey methodology consists of four general steps; 1) delineating the coastal ecosystem into coastal units based on water flow, ecology, and geology; 2) selecting key habitat types including wetlands, uplands (natural and anthropogenic), tributaries, and inland lakes and ponds, and the measures to assess each habitat type and the entire coastal ecosystem; 3) conducting a spatial analysis and summarizing results; and 4) sharing results. 2023-08-15 Environment and Climate Change Canada enviroinfo@ec.gc.ca Nature and EnvironmentHabitatsEcosystemsGreat LakeswetlandsenvironmenthabitatsurveymonitoringecosystemwaterLake OntarioLake ErieLake HuronLake SuperiorOntariobaselinecoastaluplandstributariesprotectionrestorationshorelinebiodiversity View ECCC Data Mart (English)HTML https://data-donnees.ec.gc.ca/data/sites/scientificknowledge/canadian-great-lakes-baseline-coastal-habitat-survey/lake-superior-canadian-baseline-coastal-habitat-survey/?lang=en View ECCC Data Mart (French)HTML https://data-donnees.ec.gc.ca/data/sites/scientificknowledge/canadian-great-lakes-baseline-coastal-habitat-survey/lake-superior-canadian-baseline-coastal-habitat-survey/?lang=fr
