|---|---|---|---|
| vascular | view | Dune Vegetation Dune vegetation is an assembly of species found in harsh, highly exposed and sparsely vegetated environments. | yes direct from this site |
| vascular | view | Estuaries Estuaries, also known as salt marshes, are a type of coastal wetland, typically impacted by tidal fluctuations. They are found where fresh water from rivers or streams meets with salt water from the ocean, and vegetation within an estuary exhibits varying degrees of salt-water tolerance. | no |
| vascular | view | Surfgrass Bioband Surfgrass bioband extracted from the BC Shorezone mapping system. Includes Scouler's surfgrass (Phyllospadix scouleri), toothed surfgrass (Phyllospadix serrulatus) and Torrey's surfgrass (Phyllospadix torreyi). Found mainly in the lower intertidal zone. | yes direct from this site |
| vascular | view | Ditch Grass Ditch grass (Ruppia spp.) are aquatic vascular plants that can live underwater. They are commonly referred to as a type of intertidal seagrass, although it is a freshwater species with a high salt tolerance. It provides habitat and food for many species and is a indicator of coastal wetland health. | yes from an external site |
| vascular | view | Salt Marsh Bioband Extracted from the BC Shorezone mapping system Salicornia bioband, this feature represents the Salt Marsh assemblage of marsh grasses, dune grass, sedges and other salt-tolerant herbaceous plants. Found in the supratidal and upper intertidal zones. | yes direct from this site |
| vascular | view | Eelgrass Polygons Eelgrass (Zostera marina) is a type of marine plant known as seagrass, which, unlike seaweed, contains a vascular system that transports liquid and nutrients. Eelgrass provides habitat for many species. | yes direct from this site |
| vascular | view | Priority Eelgrass Habitat Eelgrass (Zostera marina) is a type of marine plant that occurs on fine sediment in the subtidal zone. This data layer shows habitat of importance to the lifecycle of herring, Great Blue Heron and Brant. | yes direct from this site |
| vascular | view | Eelgrass Bioband Eelgrass (Zostera marina) is found on fine sediments (such as estuaries and mud bays) in the subtidal zone and may extend slightly upslope into the lower intertidal. It provides habitat for fish and shellfish and food for marine birds. This data layer was developed from the BC Shorezone Mapping system. | yes direct from this site |
