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 areal extents of Observed Catch Density from Groundfish Trawl Surveys - 2003 that helps inform the marine feature identified at the BCMCA Marine and Anadromous Fish Workshop. Data presented as 2 x2 km planning units for Marxan analysis.

Process_Description:
BCMCA planning units were intersected with a version used by DFO to extract data from their observer and survey datasets to ensure that each planning unit has the BCMCA ID and the DFO ID.

Process_Description:
Groundfish Trawl Survey records were saved to a geodatabase table and joined to the BCMCA planning units. The joined file was extracted to a new feature class and extraneous fields were removed. ID fields were added to hold the Marxan IDs for species richness and observed catch density.
