Description:

Abstract:

Location of commercial marine shellfish aquaculture farms in British Columbia.

Purpose:

The purpose of the data is to display complete, up-to-date information on the areal extents of commercial marine shellfish aquaculture farms along the coast of British Columbia for the BCMCA Atlas and Marxan analyses.
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.

Supplemental_Information:

**Please note that this feature has been updated since the Marxan analyses were run and the feature data no longer match the Marxan-ready data.**
Data developed as part of effort to provide greater information to the public and industry. To provide data and analyses for coastal resource management, conservation, protection and planning applications. Information includes company name and license information. British Columbia has been collecting coastal resource data in a systematic and synoptic manner since 1979. Resource information is collected using peer-reviewed provincial Resource Information Standards Committee which include standards for data management and analysis.
