Purpose

The dataset was developed as part of a preliminary tidal current resource inventory for all Canada's oceans. The dataset has been modified from the original source to only include estimates along the coast of British Columbia for the BCMCA Atlas and Marxan analyses.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.
