RESULTS Openings are administrative boundaries for areas harvested with silviculture obligations or natural disturbances with intended forest management activities on Crown Land. The RESULTS openings_svw is a spatial view made up of a number of tables containing information on disturbance dates,...

The Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) Low Water Mark Lines provide alongshore and across-shore geomorphological and biological attributes of the low water mark shoreline. The lines are used in the CHS nautical charts to represent the level reached by sea water at low tide.

This 'Current' spatial data layer is publicly accessible, contains the most current Non-Legal Old Growth Management Area (OGMA) polygons and excludes any sensitive information. This data represents spatially defined areas of old growth forest that are identified during landscape unit planning or...

Pelagic Marine Ecounits are intended to describe the sea surface and water column. Two variables were selected to derive pelagic ecounits:1. Salinity and 2. Stratification. The British Columbia Marine Ecological Classification (BCMEC) is a hierarchical classification that delineates Provincial...

Modeled data showing the likely distribution of gray whales. CRIMS is a legacy dataset of BC coastal resource data that was acquired in a systematic and synoptic manner from 1979 and was intermittently updated throughout the years. Resource information was collected in nine study areas using a...

Fisheries Information Summary System (FISS) layer of Historic (pre 2001) Fish Distribution Zones of BC streams. Includes salmonid rearing and spawning zones. Georeferenced to the stream centreline network layer of the 1:50,000 scale BC Watershed Atlas.

Distribution of eelgrasses in coastal British Columbia showing relative abundance (RA) and overall relative importance (RI). RI is based on project region and not on the province as a whole. CRIMS is a legacy dataset of BC coastal resource data that was acquired in a systematic and synoptic...

Community Energy and Emissions Inventory (CEEI) Primary Indicators Per Capita 2007 Reporting Year by Community

Fisheries Information Summary System (FISS) layer of Historic (pre 2001) Fish Distribution Points of BC Streams. Points represent site locations where a fish species is rearing, spawning or observed or where a point is located at the mouth of a stream it indicates the presence of a fish species...

2020 DATABASE (Excel): The joint federal-provincial Regional Geochemical Surveys (RGS) have been carried out in British Columbia since 1976 as part of the National Geochemical Reconnaissance (NGR) program to aid exploration and development of mineral resources. The British Columbia Geological...

The B.C. Conservation Data Centre spatial layer that displays a generalised area that masks the precise locations of secured occurrences of species and ecosystems at risk. These are masked for public viewing and download. The occurrences may be secured due to the species or ecosystems being...

This 'Current' spatial data layer is publicly viewable and downloadable, contains the most current Legal Old Growth Management Area (OGMA) polygons and excludes any sensitive information. This data represents legally established and spatially defined areas of old growth forest that are identified...

Distribution of Marbeled Murrelet habitat in coastal British Columbia showing relative abundance (RA) by season and overall relative importance (RI). RI is based on project region and not on the province as a whole. CRIMS is a legacy dataset of BC coastal resource data that was acquired in a...

Spatially identified and mapped legal objective lines as determined from strategic land and resource planning processes in the province of British Columbia. Legal objectives can encompass objectives developed and grandfathered under now repealed Forest Practices Code legislation (including Higher...

This ArcGIS Online application displays the hydrometric stations and accompanying drainage areas analyzed as part of Bulletin 2020-1-RFFA described below. A frequency analysis was conducted on Annual Maximum Series (AMS) streamflow data collected at Water Survey of Canada (WSC) and United States...

The Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) High Water Mark Lines provide alongshore and across-shore geomorphological and biological attributes of the high water mark shoreline. The lines are used in the CHS nautical charts to represent the level reached by sea water at high tide.

Watershed polygons of Third Order and greater based on the Strahler Stream Order classification method and the 1:50,000 scale Canadian National Topographic Series of maps.
