Description:
Abstract:
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 mudflats or estuaries using the British Columbia Biophysical Shorezone Dataset to help inform the marine feature identified in the BCMCA Physical Features report.
Supplemental_Information:
Refer to the source metadata for further information. Source: British Columbia Biophysical Shorezone Dataset, BC MOE The shoreunit morphology and substrate has been described in terms of 36 different coastal classes in the B.C biophysical shore-zone mapping system. This shapefile has been created by querying classes where the substrate of mudflats or estuaries are described as a major feature.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
As the primary and foreign keys (PHYIDENT) for the spatial data and table records were not of the same data type, a new string field was created in the MainMVW (MaterializedView) table in the database. This field was populated with the data from the PHYIDENT field.
Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation:
C:\BCMCA\Data_received\Plants\Prov\Shorezone\April2009download\WorkCopy\SZ_CoastalClass
Process_Date: May 2009
Process_Step:
Process_Description: A query selecting coastal classes 29 and 30 was performed
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The Main_MVW table was then joined with the spatial data (shorezone line segments) based on the PHYIDENT field. The joined spatial file was then extracted to a new file.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
All of the unnecessary fields were dropped and the coastal_class field was retained.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
A unique identifier for each different feature needed by the Marxan software was added in a field called ID
