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 Shrimp Species Counts from 2009 that helps inform the marine feature identified at the BCMCA Marine and Anadromous Fish Workshop. Data presented as 2 x 2 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:

Shrimp Trawl Survey Counts 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. An ID field was added to hold the Marxan ID.

Process_Description:

Field added to hold the survey area and calculated using 'select by location' queries with the survey polygons. A field was added to hold the total number of species observed within the survey area. Perc_Spp added and calculated to equal the percent of the maximum number of species observed per survey area.
