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 the areal extents of Rhinoceros Auklet foraging habitat on the BC coast to create the feature recommended at the BCMCA Seabirds Experts Workshop.
Supplemental_Information:
**Please note that this feature has been updated since the Marxan analyses were run and the feature data no longer match the Marxan-ready data.**

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Home range was done using Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) using Geospatial Modelling Environment (GME). To be consistent with the methodology used for CAAU, Bandwidth PLUGIN and Cell Size 50 were used. Using the telemetry points for RAHU home range (KDE) was created and the 50%, 75% and 95% KDE home ranges were then determined. The 50%, 75% and 95% home ranges are vector (shapefiles) data, so no class divisions are necessary as for CAAU.

Process_Description:
Shapefiles were merged together to create one feature class. A new field was added called 'Home_Range' and calculated to the applicable home range value. Only the 95% home range is displayed on the atlas page.
