Description:
Abstract:
These data represent Federal Protected areas. Terrestrial, coastal and marine protected areas are included. The following designations are represented in this file:
- Marine Protected Area (Fisheries and Oceans Canada)
- Migratory Bird Sanctuary (Canadian Wildlife Service)
- National Marine Conservation Area (Parks Canada Agency)
- National Park of Canada (Parks Canada Agency)
- National Wildlife Area (Canadian Wildlife Service)
Purpose:
The purpose of the data is to display complete, up-to-date information on federally protected areas in British Columbia for the BCMCA Atlas.
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:
Data has been merged from several data sources by the BCMCA. See Data Quality/Process Steps for further information.

Source_Contribution:
The Endeavour MPA area is zoned through the Endeavour Hydrothermal Vents Marine Protected Area Management Plan (not through regulations) into four distinct areas corresponding to known vent fields at the time of designation with different management objectives.
NOTE: There are two files for which this metadata applies: the management area boundary polygon file, and the polygon file showing the vents. These files can be used together or separately. ONLY THE MANAGEMENT AREA BOUNDARY WAS USED AS A DATA SOURCE FOR THE BCMCA.

Using the nearest interval contour (2800 metres) that encapsulated the three seamounts as a starting point, a seven point polygon was derived. Positions and azimuths for the boundary polygon are geodetic (WGS84). The area calculation was done using UTM Zone 8.

Other_Citation_Details:
Data is accurate to 10m. Data was acquired in 2011 and may contain more recent properties than January 2007 for the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve.
Source_Citation_Abbreviation: Parks Canada
Source_Contribution:
The Gulf Islands shape file contains the island properties that were purchased or transferred from the Province of BC, or purchased from private owners to make up the proposed Gulf Islands National Park. The property boundaries have been developed from the updated cadastral data provided by the Islands Trust.
Land and marine components of the park were distinguished using the FCODE field.

Process_Description:
Downloaded CARTS data via Geoconnections (2011). Retained only data from BC for Canadian Wildlife Service and DFO for British Columbia and deleted all other records. Reprojected to BC Albers projection. DFO Marine Protected Data was compared to the shapes available from CARTS and found to match.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Extracted BC protected areas from CLAB, compared to posted maps from Gwaii Haanas and Gulf Islands National Park Reserves and found discrepancies. Deleted Gwaii Haanas and Gulf Islands National Park Reserves from CLAB, projected CLAB and Parks Canada data to BC Albers projection. Appended dataset to CARTS and added attributes from original CARTS National Parks data updated spatial boundaries for National Parks. Note that Gulf Islands had more zone designations from the Parks Canada source than the original CARTS source so not all attributes from CARTS could be applied to this park.
