Province-wide SDE spatial view displaying dam locations. The public view displays a subset of the attribute data

Operability for the Cranbrook TSA (dcb_op_2003)

Stand structure habitat classes associated with mule deer winter range in the Cariboo Region.

Foreshore Plant Habitat Zones for Okanagan region lakes. The purpose of this data is to support the Large Lakes Protocol, an interagency document that addresses the processes that need to be followed during foreshore development. The required application process varies depending on habitat value...

The dataset contains approved legal boundaries for fisheries sensitive watersheds. A FSW is a mapped area with specific management objectives intended to guide development activities which may adversely impact important fish values

A spatial representation of the general distribution of wild mountain sheep (bighorn and thinhorn sheep) in British Columbia. Populations that extend into neighbouring provinces and states are also included. The distribution polygons are divided by species into bighorn and thinhorn sheep.

Watershed boundary delineated for Canada-BC hydrometric stations. Currently, watersheds were delineated using 1:50,000 scale boundaries in 1996, and many watersheds encompass entire drainages, instead of just the upstream watersheds. Note - Not yet available, but we are in the process of...

The Okanagan Lake kokanee shore spawner data set is comprised of two combined data sets. The historical data set for the years 1974, 77, 78, 79 and 80 and a more recent data set collected from 2001 to 2009. The historical data was derived from information collected in the field and hand drawn...

A polygon coverage showing the location of coalfields with coalbed methane (cbm) potential in BC

These Soil Mapping Data Packages include 1. a Soil Map dataset which includes the equivalents to Soil Project Boundaries, Soil Survey Spatial View mapping polygons with attributes from the Soil Name and Layer Files, plus + A Soil Site dataset which includes soil pit site information and detailed...

A newer dataset developed in 2021, called Aquifer Vulnerability to Sea Water Intrusion, has replaced this version. This dataset remains available for download for comparison purposes. This dataset was developed as part of the Risk Assessment Framework for Coastal Bedrock Aquifers project...

Distribution of Black Oystercatcher 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...

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.

Terrestrial Ecosystem Mapping for Fort Sheppard in the Arrow Boundary Forest District (ttem_fs)

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...

Province-wide spatial view showing the most downstream point of a stream, as determined by Water Allocation staff, to have a current or potential water quantity/quality concern. Note: This layer has replaced the older Water Allocation Restrictions view spatial layer. This data is updated nightly.
