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 Egregia menziesii to help inform the marine feature identified at the BCMCA Marine Plants workshop.

Process_Description:
<<The methods used to create the Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS) Egregia dataset for the BCMCA are as follows >> A search was conducted at OBIS for Egregia menziesii. The found record were exported to a text file and imported into Microsoft Access. The points were displayed using the provided latitude and longitude coordinates.

Process_Description:
<<The methods used to create the University of British Columbia Egregia dataset for the BCMCA are as follows >> The points from UBC were received in an Excel spreadsheet with latitude and longitude coordinates in degrees, minutes, seconds. The spreadsheet was input into MS Access and the records missing coordinates were removed. The coordinates for the remaining records were transformed to decimal degrees. The table was uploaded in ArcMap and the XY coordinates were plotted.
