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...

Manual snow survey (active & inactive) locations as part of the BC Snow Survey program.

A spatial file of polygons representing the seven "air zones" of British Columbia. Air zones are the basis for monitoring, reporting and taking action on air quality. Air zones are areas that typically exhibit similar air quality characteristics, issues and trends. It is the responsibility of...

Modeled data showing the likely distribution of Northern fur 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...

Leading Group for the Cariboo Region (pinegroup or firgroup). #### 1. IDF - Fir Group: includes all forest polygons in NDT 4 (IDF and BG biogeoclimatic zones) that meet any of the following criteria: a) Douglas-fir ( Fd or Fdi) leading or ponderosa pine leading; b) Lodgepole pine leading, and...

The dataset contains projects that are currently, or have been, subject to environmental assessment review. Attributes include the project description, project phase, decision, and proponent name. This layer consists of points themed two ways: a. Project Phase- This theme consists of layers...

A spatially identified polygon on land and/or water that has been mapped for specific land and/or resource uses as determined through a strategic land and resource planning process. This layer represents non-legalized planning lines only, thus the direction given within the planning designation...

Contains the boundaries of current British Columbia Strategic Land and Resource Plans (SLRPs). The plans can be accessed here. SLRPs provide direction for Crown land use through the establishment of broad land use goals, planning zone designations, objectives and strategies. This layer represents...

VIDEO FLIGHT POINTS are a specific GPS spatial point recorded during the video taping of the shoreline. They are represented by a specific latitude and longitude taken at a specific date and time. They are associated with a specific VIDEO SEGMENT and link to online Youtube video of the recorded...

A layer of points which delinate a change in shoreline type

Spatial dataset of DRASTIC aquifer intrinsic vulnerability of groundwater for specific study areas in BC, as reported in technical summary reports which are made available through the BC government's Ecological Reports Catalogue (EcoCat). For the study areas covered by each report and a link to...

Points with rotations that indicate downstream flow direction. Can be displayed with arrow symbols to show flow direction. There is one point at the upstream end for each stream network feature

Stream Centreline Network derived from 1:50,000 scale mapping. Each stream channel is represented by one or more line segments. Based on the 1:50,000 scale Canadian National Topographic Series of Maps.

Marine Ecosection classification for coastal and offshore British Columbia. The Marine Ecosections are: Johnstone Strait; Continental Slope; Dixon Entrance; Hecate Strait; Queen Charlotte Strait; Juan de Fuca Strait; North Coast Fjords; Queen Charlotte Sound; Strait of Georgia; Subarctic Pacific;...

This file contains a generalized representation of watersheds developed from the 1:50,000 BC Watershed Atlas with each region coded for occurrence of freshwater fish species (including anadromous salmon in their freshwater stages). The initial fish species codes for presence/absence in each...

Province-wide spatial view showing licensed water sources (streams and lakes), under the Water Act, (current and historical), not captured (displayed) on TRIM base mapping (or Freshwater Atlas base mapping).

Flow network arcs (observed, inferred and constructed). Contains no banks, coast or watershed bourdary arcs. Directionalized and connected. Contains heirarchial key and route identifier

Modeled data showing the likely distribution of pacific white sided dolphins. Coastal Resource Information Management System (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....

Ecosections are areas with minor physiographic and macroclimatic or oceanographic variations. There are 114 ecosections in British Columbia varying from pure marine units to pure terrestrial units. Ecosections are meant to be mapped at small scales (1:250,000) for resource emphasis and area planning

Modeled data showing the likely distribution of humpback 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...
