Description:
Abstract:
This dataset identifies the location of sportfishing activities for prawn and shrimp along the coast of British Columbia.
Purpose:
The purpose of this dataset is to display complete, up-to-date information on sportfishing activities for prawn and shrimp 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.
Supplemental_Information:
This information is based on a compilation from three primary sources. 1) A series of 19 workshops held by the BC Marine Conservation Analysis (BCMCA) with members of regional Sport Fish Advisory Boards (SFAB) between October 2008 and March 2009. Attendees were asked to review Nautical Charts with previously mapped recreational fishing areas and record any areas that were not displayed on the map. Charts were available scaled between 1:70,000 to 1:120,000 and the recreational use was separated by Anadromous fish, Groundfish, Crab and Prawn. 2) Previously mapped data was sourced from the Province of B.C., Integrated Land Management Bureau (ILMB) CRIMS (1993-2003); and 3) Previously mapped data was sourced from Parks Canada Strait of Georgia NMCA (2006-8). Previously mapped locations were merged with newly identified areas and all polygons were clipped to the Canadian Hydrological Service (CHS) high water coastline. Overlaps between data collected at different workshops or from previous studies were not removed. All Relative Importance information is from Provincial data - no relative importance was recorded in the 2008-9 workshops. See process steps for further details.

Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Some attribute information may not be current.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Data has not been reviewed by DFO fisheries officers or ground truthed. Polygons are based on anecdotal information on use. The data do not provide a metric of intensity, economic value or social value.
The dataset should be used as presence/absence only. These data do not necessarily reflect the full range of interests and importance to all users - areas not showing recreational fishing use may still be used recreationally but were not identified through the data sources listed here.
Completeness_Report:
Tidal portions of streams and rivers used are not included in this dataset. Fishing locations change over time. This data should be reviewed and updated every 3-5 years. Only the historic Provincial data contains Relative Importance ratings. The relative importance of an area may differ from fisher to fisher; boat size has a major influence on the access to fishing grounds, and therefore their relative importance.

Process_Description:
Province of British Columbia data: Data were created through a variety of projects to identify important use areas in the event of an oil spill and for use in marine planning. Data are based upon anecdotal information through interviews with fisheries officers, or gathered through secondary sources, and transferred to 1:20,000 - 1:50,000 base maps for digitization. Completeness varies. The following provincial biological and human use mapping projects conducted by the former Land Use Coordination Office in the 1990's (with updates by Jacky Booth in 2002-3) are included in this dataset: SSOG - Southern Strait of Georgia Oil Spill Atlas, 1994. Work by LGL Ltd. WCVI - West Coast Vancouver Island, 1996. Work by LGL Ltd. JOHNST / MCOAST - Johnstone Strait and Central Coast Biological and Human Use Mapping, 1996-7. Work by Clover Point Cartographics Ltd. (with Jacqueline Booth and Associates).
For some projects data were compiled denoting recreational, aboriginal and commercial use. Only recreational use was extracted for this compilation.
At some point after 2003 all the data was merged into what are now the CRIMS source files. The pre-merged source files may contain additional information but have been lost to time. Unless otherwise noted, each polygon has a RI (relative importance) code; in some instances the RI is also assigned to each use type (recreational, aboriginal and commercial).
A different project code indicates a different method may have been used to compile the data. The text below describes the methods and original source of the content and a transcript of any relevant information from the available project data dictionaries for Johnstone Strait and Central Coast Biological and Human Use Mapping and Southern Strait of Georgia Oil Spill Atlas. North Coast and QCI Biological and Human Use mapping were conducted using similar methods to Johnstone Strait and Central Coast. Unknown methods were used to compile the NSOG, WCVI and 2002-3 updates.
- JOHNST: Contains a mix of recreational and commercial use, predominantly weighted to commercial use. Commercial data was not included in this compilation. Some polygons were sourced from the SSOG. Several polygons appear to be use areas (have a RCRAB_JOHN tag GT 1) but have no JOHNST in the "project" field. A RI [relative importance] value is assigned for use type (recreational, aboriginal and commercial) where use occurs. (EG an RI_ABORIGI of between 1 and 5 indicates low to high importance for aboriginal fishery use; RI_ABORIGI = 0 means no aboriginal use). The original source for this data is interviews with DFO Fisheries Officers (the names of the fisheries officers are in the SOURCE1 and SOURCE2 fields). The RI value was assigned by DFO Fisheries Officers. The RI value was supposed to be the maximum commercial, recreational or aboriginal RI value, but appears to be incorrectly applied in the CRIMS compiled layer. The Johnstone Strait and Central Coast Biological and Human Use Mapping Data Dictionary says the following: "Shrimp and prawns are fished by trawl or trap respectively, throughout the Johnstone Strait region. There is some documented sport fishing for Prawns in selected locations in the southern portion of Johnstone Strait. There is no commercial fishery for Shrimp or prawns in the Central Coast region."
-MCOAST: Based on the content of the SOURCE1 field, this data appears to have come from tourism operator surveys from the Central Coast Tourism Resource Inventory (CC TRI), conducted in 1995 by Clover Point Cartographics. Tourism operators were interviewed and asked to map areas they used on a map of the study area (1:350,000 scale). The tourism operator inputs were recorded as points for the CC TRI. To build the prawn input for the Central Coast Biological and Human Use mapping, CC TRI point data was used as a basis for GIS operators to draw polygons that captured the adjacent coastline. Polygons were clipped by overlapping coastline (using the coastline found in the MELP digital stream atlas [1:50,000 scale]), to identify areas where crabbing may occur. Bathymetry was not used to define the polygons. Method for assigning RI values is unknown but presumed to be based on number of tourism operators who indicated use.
-SSOG: Data was compiled in the original provincial study for recreational and commercial use. Only recreational use was included in this compilation. The Southern Strait of Georgia Oil Spill Atlas says the following: "Fisheries information (commercial and recreational) was obtained by interviewing Fisheries Officers at the relevant District and Sub-district offices. A standard data coding form was employed and spatial information was recorded onto nautical charts for subsequent digitizing. RI values were estimated by Fisheries Officers relative to their area of operations (generally District, Sub-district or Statistical Area). The RI values compiled from Fisheries Officers were then adjusted to correct for differences between areas. The mean annual catch based on preceding 5 years of commercial catch statistics were used to standardize between areas for assignment of RI values. Information on recreational fisheries was also obtained from the Georgia Strait Creel Survey which involves systematic surveys of fishing intensity. RI values for recreational fisheries are interpreted from Creel data. Information on commercial and recreational fisheries is considered to be of very high quality."
- WCVI: Appears to be based on information provided by DFO Fisheries Officers. No RI values assigned. No other information known.
NOTES: In the merging of the studies, if polygons overlapped, slivers were created. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Much of the information for the provincial marine data compilation came from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO). In 1993, the South Coast Division of DFO initiated a system to collect, organize and report information pertinent to oil spill planning from fisheries staff (See Canadian Technical Report of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences 2002 - Booth and Rueggeberg 1994). DFO recognized that a significant proportion of the existing fisheries and fish habitat information for the BC coast comes from the personal knowledge and experience of district fisheries staff or on unpublished file material in district fisheries offices. The program was therefore designed to collect and compile this information into a single database where it can be accessed in a timely manner. Because the funding for this project came from a special fund set up after the Nestucca Oil Spill, the initial data compilation was focused on DFO statistical areas along the west coast of Vancouver Island (Canadian Technical Report of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences 2002, 2120, 2121, 2122) in September to November 1994. Additional projects were conducted for Johnstone Strait and Central Coast in 1995-6 and the North Coast in 1995-6.

The data sources used in the DFO compilations included: " District fisheries staff familiar with the study area; the nature of their experience and number of years associated with the study area are noted, as indicators of the comprehensiveness of the data being provided. " Reports based at least in part on personal knowledge of district fisheries staff; these include Records of Management Strategies, annual fisheries management strategies, and the Barkley Sound Planning Strategy. " Existing databases based on information provided by district fisheries staff or from interviews with long-time coastal residents.
Data for Northern Johnstone Strait (DFO Statistical Areas 11 and 12) was compiled by Alby Systems Ltd., and for Southern Johnstone Strait (DFO Statistical Area 13) compiled by Judy Hillaby, both under contract to DFO.
Data for the North Coast are the results of interviews with L. Enderud, D. Flegel,E. Fast, M. Fedderstone, V. Fradette, J. Inkpen, T. Johansen, J. Stewart, G. Thomas, and D. Wagner conducted in January 1995 by R. Frith of LGL Limited.
Using the DFO data collection model, a standard and methodology was used for all interviews and all interviews were conducted by a qualified fisheries biologist. Each interviewee was provided with a series of mylar overlays of Canadian Hydrographic Service charts covering their area of interest and was then asked to identify specific fish habitats, fish distributions or areas of fishing activity. Where practical, the largest scale charts available were used (usually 1:40,000 scale but up to 1:525,000 scale) used for compilation; however in the case of fisheries that covered a broad geographical extent (e.g. offshore groundfish trawl and salmon troll fisheries) a smaller scale chart was used. As each area was delineated, it was assigned an identifier and the interviewee was queried to collect relevant information concerning the area or fishery. Interviews were conducted with at most one or two interviewees at a time. When returning to an area for updates, the interviewees were asked to verify or comment on the old datasets. Interviewees were also asked to search their files and archives for relevant hard copy or digital information that supplemented their verbal knowledge.
After completion of the interviews the maps and data forms were entered into a Geographic Information System and verified. If there was overlap or discrepancies in the information obtained from different sources the data were scrutinized and in most instances were merged into a single observation with two sources. The criteria used to make such decisions were (1) to give preference to the information obtained from the individual with the most direct knowledge and experience of the specific fishery, (2) to give preference to the information from the larger scale chart, and (3) to preserve detail. In instances where one of the data points was part of a coastwide dataset (e.g. the distribution of herring spawn, clam beds or kelp beds) the coastwide dataset was kept intact and the information from other sources was maintained but kept as a separate entity. These discrepancies were flagged to be sorted out by further field studies.
In addition to recreational fisheries, information was captured using similar methods for commercial fisheries and other marine resources. DFO conducted an exercise to update the LEK for the Central and North coast and Queen Charlotte Islands between 2000 and 2007 - that data is available through DFO's Mapster application.

Process_Description:
Parks Canada Data (Southern Strait of Georgia): In the fall of 2006 Christopher Bos on behalf of Parks Canada organized more than 20 consultation meetings with sport fishing stakeholders, including consultations with the Sport Fishing Advisory Board. One of the purposes of these meetings was to delineate the areas commonly used for sport fishing. Most recreational anglers who attended the meetings either gave information directly or assisted in the process of verifying the draft data. Chris Bos compiled the approximately 12 sets of local draft maps from the consultations on shellfish by trap, groundfish and salmon into three maps -- one for each of these fisheries. The shellfish trap map is exclusively sport prawn and crab fishing.
Purpose: Delineate area commonly used by sport salmon fishermen in the southern Strait of Georgia. Credit: Drawn by Chris Bos, contractor to Parks Canada. Scanned, georeferenced, and digitized by Doug Hrynyk, Parks Canada.
Supplemental Information: Sport fishing maps drawn with heavy hi-liter pen on Nautical Charts. Polygon boundaries are not especially precise. An attempt to use the TRIM coastline while digitising was abandoned and polygons drawn in the Hi-liter were digitized as is. The shapefiles, therefore, are adequate for cartographic display at 150k - 300k on the D-size and B-sizes respectively. They might also be adequate when sampled in to MARXAN planning units. However, any sort of geographic overlay will yield sliver polygons.
Additional areas south and west of Victoria and around past Sooke marked on map by Chris Bos at Library Square 22 May 2008. These areas were drawn with a more precise pen and included the TRIM coastline.
Accordingly the first round polygons were clipped to the TRIM coastline and some were adjusted to remove the resulting slivers.

Process_Description:
The BCMCA held workshops with members of regional Sport Fish Advisory Boards (SFAB) between October 2008 and March 2009. Workshops were held in Vancouver, Richmond, Port Renfrew/Nitinat, Nanaimo, Port Alberni, Tofino/Ucluelet, Tahsis, Sechelt, Powell River, Courtenay, Campbell River, Port Hardy, Kitimat, Terrace, Prince Rupert and Queen Charlotte. Follow-up was conducted at the North and South Coast SFAB Area meetings. The Bella Coola SFAB was unable to participate in the process. Participants were asked to review Nautical Charts with previously mapped recreational fishing areas and record any areas that were not displayed on the map. Charts were available scaled between 1:70,000 to 1:120,000 and the recreational use was separated by Anadromous fish, Groundfish, Crab and Prawn. No workshop was conducted in Victoria, as the Parks Canada Strait of Georgia NMCA (2008) data were deemed current and complete for that area. The participants at Port Renfrew/Nitinat SFAB workshop refused to participate in the mapping process but indicated the entire area (DFO Fisheries Management Areas 20-1,20-2, 22 and 121) was of importance to their fishing. Polygons displayed in those FMAs were garnered from subsequent follow-up with the South Coast SFAB. No information on the relative importance of each polygon was obtained from workshop participants.

Process_Description:
Data recorded on nautical charts was digitized using a "heads up procedure" with the digital nautical charts in the background. All newly mapped polygons were clipped to the Canadian Hydrological Service (CHS) high water coastline and then areas overlapping the previously mapped polygons (from process step 1 and 2) for each recreational fishery were erased. Each newly mapped use area was attributed to the SFAB region where the data were collected (in the SOURCE2 field). The new polygons were then appended to the previous work taken from process step 1 for each respective fishery, maintaining the CRIMS existing database structure. Data from process step 2 (Parks Canada) was also merged to this new dataset. Overlaps between newly identified (2008) use areas from different workshops were not removed.
