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.
This benthic habitat classification is a coastwide application of that used in the Gwaii Haanas NMCA, which itself an adaption of the benthic habitat model developed by The Nature Conservancy (TNC) (Ferdana et al., 2006) and applied to marine ecoregional planning throughout continental US.
Like the TNC methodology, this benthic habitat model combines three parameters: (i) landscape features, (ii) depth, and (iii) substrate in order to identify areas of similar benthic characteristics. The Benthic Terrain Modeller (BTM) tool developed by NOAA Coastal Services was used to help generate four landscape features that describe the terrain of the seafloor (depressions, slopes, flats and ridges). We combined the four landscape features with four ecologically meaningful depth ranges and four types of substrate from an existing data layer created as input to the BC Marine Ecological Classification System (MSRM, 2002). In total, 64 unique benthic habitat classes were delineated. To date, the benthic habitat classes have not been ground truthed. For more information on the methods used please see the processing steps section.

Purpose:

To represent unique benthic habitats in British Columbia coastwide out to the limit of the Exclusive Economic Zone (200nm).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A check on any differences between the Gwaii Haanas habitat classifications and the coincident portion of the coastwide classification revealed some, but they are explainable.
In the NE corner of the grid, immediately south of the Alaska-BC border there is a triangle for which substrate is not defined. The substrate is encoded in the 10s column of habitat; 90 represents unknown, unmapped substrate.
There remain a few slivers in the Gwaii Haanas substrate raster which are defined as unknown. These were all eliminated in the re-rasterized EEZ substrate layer. The substrate is encoded in the 10s column of habitat.
There are also differences of a few pixels in the fine scale BPI. These may be due to differences in the original gridding interpolation --differences which would not be apparent in the coarser BPI. Alternatively, the differences could be due to a different starting point for the fine annulus. At any rate, given the sparseness of much of the source data the differences are negligible.
Finally, the bathymetry obtained from MGDS does not match the other bathymetry at all well. In fact the differences are amenable to neither smoothing algorithms nor manual adjustment. The best option was to incorporate them directly and use them as they are, ignoring any spurious features.
Note also that the MGDS data include some multibeam bathymetry at much, much higher resolution than the rest of the data set. This provides a rather uneven view of the seafloor, but that cannot be helped as they are the only available data.
- UPDATE - An unintended result of the processing described above was the creation of numerous "artifacts" along the seams of adjoining mosaiced rasters and the boundaries of the MGDS multibeam surveys. These groups of polygons were erroneously assigned to different benthic classes. Further processing was done to clean up these artifacts. Each incorrectly classed polygon was identified, selected, and reclassed to match the surrounding or most probable adjacent benthic class.

Process_Description:

Bathymetric Data: A 75 meter bathymetry raster was created by mosaicing four bathymetric rasters together:
(1) a 75 m. bathymetric raster created by NRCan for the west coast of BC from 1:250,000 CHS Bathymetric Contours;
(2) a 100 m. bathymetric raster created by LOS for the entire west coast out to the EEZ; and
(3) a 2 m. Multi beam bathymetry raster for Juan Perez Sound. There are some seams evident in the data, at the edges of the mosaiced datasets.
(4) an extension to the south to cover the bottom of the EEZ using data obtained from the Marine Geoscience Data System covering block
48.2 -132 -126 46.2
MGDS permits download of data at a maximum of four times screen resolution. In order to achieve a spatial resolution, 83m, roughly equivalent to the 75m bathymetry used in Gwaii Haanas, the data were downloaded in two halves west and east on either side of -129.

Process_Description:

Bathymetric Derivatives: A number of derivative surfaces were created using ArcGIS and the BTM tool in order to help delineate benthic terrain features. First, slope was derived from the bathymetry using the Slope command in ESRI's ArcGIS Spatial Analyst extension.
Second, the BTM was used to generate Bathymetric Position Index (BPI) grids. Two BPI grids were created -a fine scale BPI grid that captures fine scale terrain features and a coarse scale BPI that captures broad scale landscape features. Fine and broad-scale landscape features visible in the hill shaded relief were measured in order to determine appropriate neighbourhood search radii to use when generating the BPI grids. A number of tests using different neighbourhood radii were then conducted and the output grids compared.
The most appropriate scale of data and classification method for representing fine scale terrain features was an annulus with an inner radius of 75 meters and an outer radius of 525 meters. For broad scale features an inner radius of 375 meters and an outer radius of 2250 meters was most effective. The fine scale BPI grid captured some interpolation errors in some areas. For this reason, a decision was made to use this fine scale grid to fill in fine scale ridges, depressions, and slopes in areas that are flat in the broad scale. Using this methodology, data interpolation errors were masked out by the broad scale grid.
The fine scale BPI Grid was reclassified into 4 classes: (1) ridge: (2) depression; (0) flat; and (0) slope. The broad scale BPI Grid was reclassified into 4 classes: (10) ridge: (20) depression; (30) flat; and (40) slope. These two grids were added together using the raster math tool.
One Terrain feature layer were created using the reclass tool and the following rules: (10, 11, 12 = ridge), (20, 21, 22 = depression), 30 (flat), 31 (ridge), 32 (depression), 40, 41, 42 (slope).

Benthic Habitat Classification: The four landscape features were combined with four ecologically meaningful depth ranges (0-20, 20-50, 50-200, 200 +) and four types of substrate obtained from an existing data layer created for the BC Marine Ecological Classification System (MSRM, 2002) using the Raster Calculator.
Errors created from seams in the bathymetry layer were manually cleaned using ArcGIS editing tools.

Process_Description:

Ended up with four terrain classes
1 - Ridge, 2 - Depression, 3 - Flat, 4 - Slope.
(2) Depth: Classified into 4 categories using the Spatial Analyst RECLASS command.
0-20 - 1000, 20-50 - 2000, 50-200 - 3000, 200+ - 4000.

(3) Substrate. Substrate was delineated into three categories based on the MEC classification: (1) Hard, (2) Sand and (3) Mud; (4) Undefined. Added new field "Code" to attribute table. Calculated the "Code" to equal the values in the table below.
Hard - 10, Sand - 20, Mud - 30. Undefined - 90
Substrate is based on 1:250,000 NTS coastline and was cleaned to match the TRIM coastline.
Step 1: Reclass Bathy Grid to 1 - creates a c cookie cutter of TRIM coastline. Step 2: Overlay bathy cookie with substrate to get polygons with missing substrate. Step 3: Convert overlaid layer from multipart to single part using multipart to single part tool. Step 4: Populated all missing substrate features with a substrate value.

FINAL CREATION OF BENTHIC SUBSTRATE GRID.
Added Terrain Features, Depth and Substrate grids together in raster calculator. Converted to integer using raster calculator. Converted to feature layer using exact shape option. Added new attribute "finalcode". Calculated finalcode = to gridcode. Fixed anomalies due to seams in bathy data manually.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The mosaicing of the four bathymetric rasters resulted in a number of "artifacts" that occurred along the seams between raster images. These artifacts were often incorrectly classified into the wrong benthic classes. As a result, a process of "cleaning" up the data was necessary. The following iterates that process:
1. Both the benthic class shapefile and the original bathymetric rasters were added to the ArcGIS TOC. The benthic class layer was made 50% transparent so as to identify the seams in the rasters below the benthic class polygons. 2. When obvious artifacts along seams were identified, the incorrectly classed polygons were selected and their GRIDCODE values changed to the appropriate, adjacent benthic class. 3. Some artifacts that ran along seams tended to merge into larger polygons when they ran into more complex terrain. These polygons were cut and made into separate polygons where the more complex terrain began. The portion that was the artifact was selected and its GRIDCODE value changed to the appropriate benthic class. 4. The dissolve function was used on the GRIDCODE field.

Process_Description:

As recommended by one of the BCMCA physical feature reviewers: The minimum mapping unit (mmu) is the size of the smallest feature for which boundaries will be delineated on a map of a particular scale. Recommended minimum mapping units have been developed for frequently used map scales (shown below). For example, if you use a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5' (1:25,000) topographic quadrangle map, the recommended mmu is 12.5 meters. Based on scale of underlying bathymetry data (1:250,000 original NRM data), the mmu should be 12,272 m2. (Citation NatureServe. 2008. Biotics 4 Help version 2008-01-31. NatureServe, Arlington, Virginia.)
Based on this information, polygons less than 12,272 m2 in size were selected. The ArcGIS Eliminate tool was run to merge the selected polygons with the neighbouring polygon with which they have the longest shared border.

The dataset was intersected with ecosections_dissolved.shp. New unique MARXAN IDs were created by concatenating benthic class GRIDCODEs and ecosection IDs (expression: [GRIDCODE]&"0"&[ID_NUMBER]). A new field, MARXAN_ID, was created and populated with the results of the expression. The dataset was then dissolved on the MARXAN_ID field. The file was also clipped to the EEZ.

Process_Description:

During the feature review, erroneous benthic classes in the southwest corner of the EEZ were identified. These areas were likely generated when higher resolution multibeam datasets for this area were mosaiked with the other, lower resolution bathymetry data. The shapefile was again exploded into singlepart features and these areas were compared to the bathymetry data and artifacts were changed to the predominant benthic class in the region (4093012 - deep, flat, unknown substrate). This process was performed manually and cannot be considered to be highly precise. Once the cleaning process was complete, the file was re-dissolved based on the Marxan ID. The clean file was verified by Krista Royle and Greg MacMillan of Parks Canada.
