Shore Unit Classifications - Polygon

Shore Unit Classifications - Polygon The Shore Unit Classifications Polygons depict the most current areas of Shorezone mapping for the Province of British Columbia. Shorezone is an aerial imaging, habitat classification, and mapping system used to inventory alongshore and across-shore geomorphological and biological attributes of the coast. Habitat attributes are interpreted from oblique aerial imagery acquired during the lowest tides of the year. The mapping project was first developed as an oil spill response tool for British Columbia, and now ShoreZone extends from Oregon to Alaska and has many other uses including ecological studies, marine conservation planning, coastal flooding and vulnerability assessments, and community education. 2024-05-02 Government of British Columbia GeoBCInfo@gov.bc.ca Form DescriptorsNature and EnvironmentScience and Technologyshore unitshore zoneshoreunitshorezoneGovernment information Original metadata (https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca)HTML https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/shore-unit-classifications-polygon BC Geographic Warehouse Custom DownloadHTML https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/shore-unit-classifications-polygon/resource/d39e6ee9-e72f-4f76-8ce8-2658e7b411b1 SHZN_SHORE_UNIT_CLASS_POLYS_SVHTML https://maps.gov.bc.ca/ess/hm/crims/ SHZN_SHORE_UNIT_CLASS_POLYS_SVKML https://openmaps.gov.bc.ca/kml/geo/layers/WHSE_ENVIRONMENTAL_MONITORING.SHZN_SHORE_UNIT_CLASS_POLYS_SV_loader.kml British Columbia Shorezone Mapping SystemPDF https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/data/geographic/topography/bc_shorezonemappingsystem.pdf SHZN_SHORE_UNIT_CLASS_POLYS_SVWMS https://openmaps.gov.bc.ca/geo/pub/WHSE_ENVIRONMENTAL_MONITORING.SHZN_SHORE_UNIT_CLASS_POLYS_SV/ows?service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities&layers=pub:WHSE_ENVIRONMENTAL_MONITORING.SHZN_SHORE_UNIT_CLASS_POLYS_SV&legend_format=image/png&feature_info_type=text/plain SHZN_SHORE_UNIT_CLASS_POLYS_SVWMS https://openmaps.gov.bc.ca/geo/pub/WHSE_ENVIRONMENTAL_MONITORING.SHZN_SHORE_UNIT_CLASS_POLYS_SV/ows?service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities&layers=pub:WHSE_ENVIRONMENTAL_MONITORING.SHZN_SHORE_UNIT_CLASS_POLYS_SV&legend_format=image/png&feature_info_type=text/plain
