Roe Herring catch by Gillnet (aggregated for 1989 to 2008) was prepared with data provided by the Conservation Biology Section, Pacific Biological Station (PBS). The dataset has been modified to meet the sensitive nature of the data as per the Access to Information Act20(1)(b,c); which specifies that Fisheries and Oceans Canada will not disclose to a third party confidential information that may prejudice the competitive position of the fisher, in which fishing location has been identified as one of the entities to be protected.
The Sablefish Longline catch and effort grid dataset has been assembled directly from the Groundfish Stock Assessment harvest log database (PacSable) located at the Pacific Biological Station (PBS). The dataset has been modified to meet the sensitive nature of the data as per the Access to Information Act20(1)(b,c); which specifies that Fisheries and Oceans Canada will not disclose to a third party confidential information that may prejudice the competitive position of the fisher, in which fishing location has been identified as one of the entities to be protected. There was a 4km x 4km grid used in the desensitization process as well information was limited to total Effort and total Catch . The dataset specifically...
This dataset displays the output of a participatory mapping exercise conducted during and after the BCMCA Renewable Ocean Energy Mapping Workshop held November 17, 2008. It contains the combined areas of interest or promise for tidal energy development along the coast of British Columbia. The data is grid-based, with each 1x1 km cell weighted according to the measure of relative importance to assigned each area mapped by workshop participants.
This data represents the location of coastal British Columbia boating / recreational and pleasure craft cruising routes.
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 socio-economic spatial data at scales relevant to a BC coast-wide analysis.

Summary To support coastal and ocean planning and other activities pursuant to the Energy Policy Act, Coastal Zone Management Act, Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, National Environmental Policy Act, Rivers and Harbors Act and the Submerged Lands Act. Description An artificial reef is a human-made underwater structure, typically built to promote marine life in areas with a generally featureless bottom, control erosion, block ship passage, or improve surfing. Many reefs are built using objects that were built for other purposes, for example by sinking oil rigs (through the Rigs-to-Reefs program), scuttling ships, or by deploying rubble or construction debris. Other artificial reefs are purpose...

Ecological Marine Units (EMUs) are the three-way combination of physical variables - depth, sediment grain size, and seabed forms. The breaks in bathymetry and substrate grain size are based on the ecological thresholds revealed by the benthic organism relationships. Download includes: Bathymetry, Benthic Habitats, Benthic Sediment, Ecological Marine Units, Seabed Forms, and Ecoregional Boundaries.

This project researched the expected variation in avian demographic responses to environmental change across a gradient of species and landscapes from the San Francisco Bay to the Central Valley of California. We used two avian taxa, waterfowl and songbirds, as case studies for the integration of long-term demographic data with climate change variables. For each taxon, we assessed and synthesized several demographic responses to climate change variables (i.e., precipitation and temperature) to explore the relationship between four large-scale climate indices and bird species arrival dates and nest survival. A web-based application provides natural resource managers with project results.

The NOAA Hypoxia Watch project provides near-real-time, web-based maps of dissolved oxygen near the sea floor over the Texas-Louisiana continental shelf during a period that extends from mid-June to mid-July. The NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service Mississippi Laboratories at Pascagoula and Stennis Space Center and the NOAA National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC) at Stennis Space Center began the Hypoxia Watch project in 2001. Scientists aboard the NOAA Research Vessel Oregon II measure seawater properties, such as water temperature, salinity, chlorophyll, and dissolved oxygen at each of approximately 240 locations as the Oregon II cruises the waters south of Pascagoula, MS and then makes its way from...

The datatset is a compilation of all permanent (legally established) protected areas in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
Eelgrass is a type of marine, flowering seagrass that grows underwater in temperate marine environments around the world, and on the West coast includes three species: (1) Zostera marina, (2) non-native dwarf eelgrass, Zostera japonica, and (3) a distinct species to Southern California, Zostera pacifica. In 2014, TNC and PMEP produced the report, “Nursey Functions of U.S. West Coast Estuaries: The State of Knowledge for Juveniles of Focal Invertebrate and Fish Species,” which found that eelgrass (Zostera sp.) meadows are one of the most important juvenile habitats for a broad array of fish species. Understanding the spatial extent of eelgrass habitats in West Coast estuaries is important for restoration and conservation...

Number of marine mammal species, by marine ecoregion. We extracted marine mammals from version 1.0 of the global polygon data set compiled by UNEP-WCMC from the publication Marine Mammals of the World (Jefferson et al. 1993) (for more information about the UNEP-WCMC source data set, e-mail spatialanalysis@unep-wcmc.org). There were 118 species in the data set (including cetaceans, sirenians, pinnipeds, and other marine carnivores). These included coastal and high seas species, although the latter may only occasionally venture onto continental shelf areas. It is likely that total diversity is underestimated for the Southern Ocean Realm, particularly the sub-Antarctic islands, because certain species in this realm...
This data set shows North American marine ecoregions.  Marine ecoregions are areas which fall within the Exclusive Economic Zones of the North American countries and which have general similarity in terms of physiographic, oceanographic, and biological characteristics. These marine ecoregions are constructed as a spatial framework with three nested levels. The data are intended to be scalable: appropriate for perspectives and interests varying from regional to continental in scope; ecosystem-oriented: based on a range of connected biological, oceanographic, and physiographic characteristics; and linked: related to other marine and terrestrial data sets, classification systems, and disciplines.    Â...
Percent of coastline densely populated, by marine ecoregion. The map shows the proportion of coastline (from the shore to within five kilometers of the coast) in each ecoregion where there are more than five hundred persons per square kilometer. By focusing attention on a narrow coastal strip, we believe that we are capturing areas with the highest likelihood of significant losses of intertidal and adjacent habitats as a result of building, dredging, land reclamation, and other forms of coastal engineering. It does not, of course, measure areas of coastal development per se and does not capture areas where aquaculture, agriculture, or low-density tourism have impacts. These data were derived by The Nature Conservancy,...
