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 socio-economic spatial data at scales relevant to a BC coast-wide analysis.
Purpose:
The purpose of this dataset is to display the number of BCMCA shipping and transportation features that were used in the Marxan analysis that are found in each 2 km x 2 km planning unit.

Process_Description:
The marxan file for shipping and transportation contained a separate field for all features. Where a feature had a value greater than zero in a planning unit, that value for recalculated to equal one to indicate presence in that planning unit. The presence values for all features were summed to generate the count of features in each planning unit.
