Fish holding areas (i.e. areas of concentration of salmon and herring, both adult and juvenile) in coastal British Columbia. Attribute information includes overall relative importance, species of salmon and other fish observed at various times throughout the year as well as information on...

Modeled data showing the likely distribution of harbour seals. 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...

Distribution of fulmar, shearwater and petrel bird species 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...

BC Offshore Petroleum Grid (lines), 1:50,000 NTS grid blocks covering Queen Charlotte Islands and Vancouver Island

A list of the various 'regional' (zone/subzone/variant/phase) ecological units of the current biogeoclimatic ecosystem classification. At this 'regional' level, vegetation, soils and topography are used to infer the climate and to identify geographic areas that have relatively uniform climate....

Forest disturbances mapped primarily by the annual provincial aerial overview survey are recorded as polygons. Each polygon is labelled by the year of survey, forest health factor (disturbance agent), severity class and host. Aerial survey data standards are provided on the web at...

Ecodomains are areas broad climatic uniformity, defined at the global level

TA_CROWN_OPERATING_AGRMNTS_SVW contains the spatial representation (polygon) of active and applied for Crown Land Operating Agreements. Operating agreements provide for use of Crown Land for operation/development but do not provide for future purchasing of land. The view was created to provide a...
