Summary

The British Columbia Marine Conservation Analysis (BCMCA) is a collaborative project assembling and analyzing spatial information about Canada's Pacific Ocean. The overall goal of the BCMCA is to identify marine areas of high conservation value and marine areas important to human use. Results of the project are intended to inform and help advance marine planning initiatives in BC by providing collaborative, peer-reviewed scientific analyses based on the best ecological and human use spatial data at scales relevant to a BC coast-wide analysis.

Purpose

The purpose of this dataset is to identify areas of high chlorophyll concentration (less than 30 mg/m3) on the BC coast as a surrogate for areas of high primary productivity and a proxy for potentially important foraging areas for some seabirds and marine mammals.
