A novel towfish incorporating sidescan and video hardware was used to ground truth echosounder data for the nearshore of Halifax Harbour. The resulting sampling grid extended from the shoreline to a depth of 10 m, including Bedford Basin through the Inner Harbour to the Outer Harbour. Each of these three zones could be distinguished from the others based upon combinations of substrate type, benthic invertebrates, and macrophyte canopy. Bedford Basin had a relative lack of macrophytes and evidence of intense herbivory. The Inner Harbour was characterized by shoreline hardening due to anthropogenic activities. The Outer Harbour was the most “natural” nearshore area with a mix of bottom types and a relatively abundant and diverse macrophyte canopy. All survey data were placed into a GIS, which could be used to answer management questions such as the placement and character of habitat compensation projects in the harbour. Future surveys utilizing similar techniques could be used to determine long term changes in the nearshore of the harbour.Cite this data as: Vandermeulen H.

This point layer dataset contains information on Manitoba waterbody access points including boat launches, overland routes and tunnels.Waterbody Entry Points contains point data primarily of boat launches in Manitoba, but it also includes overland routes and tunnel access to some waterbodies. Each data point has a description of the type of access as well as photos that detail signage and condition of the entry point. The waterbody entry points layer, along with related information, can be found at the Manitoba Lake Information For Anglers app. The project was initiated by Manitoba Wildlife and Fisheries Branch with funding from the Fish and Wildlife Enhancement Fund. Data is provided by Manitoba Wildlife and Fisheries Branch, Swan Valley Sport Fishing and Manitoba Watershed Districts. For additional information visit Manitoba Fisheries. The dataset includes the following fields (Alias (Name): Description) Waterbody ID (WATERBODY_ID): Unique identifier for an individual waterbody. Waterbody Name (WATERBODY_NAME): Name of the waterbody that the entry point belongs to. Entry Type (ENTRY_TYPE): Indicates the type of entry point (e.g. boat launch, tunnel). Photo 1 (PHOTO_1): Link to a photo of the launch/entry point. Photo 2 (PHOTO_2): Link to a photo of the launch/entry point. Photo 3 (PHOTO_3): Link to a photo of the launch/entry point. Long (DD) (LONG_DD): Longitudinal coordinates of the feature in decimal degrees. Lat (DD) (LAT_DD): Latitudinal coordinates of the feature in decimal degrees.

In 2018 and 2019 Fisheries and Oceans Canada conducted a project to relocate American Eel (Anguilla rostrata) from Port Dalhousie Harbour to mitigate potential impacts of in-water construction prior to and during an essential harbour revitalization project. American Eel are designated as Endangered under the Province of Ontario’s Endangered Species Act and were confirmed to be present in the area during initial sampling efforts of this project. While a combination of passive eel traps and boat electrofishing were used to capture eels, this dataset includes passive capture data only. A total of four eels were captured using eel traps and all individuals were relocated to Hamilton Harbour. Only two of the four eels captured were large enough to be tagged with acoustic transmitters, both of which eventually returned to Port Dalhousie from Hamilton Harbour. All other fish species captured in the traps were identified, counted and released at Port Dalhousie.

This dataset is comprised of the spatial boundaries for the Port Hawkesbury and Saint John pilot areas within the Oceans Protection Plan - Area Response Plan (ARP) project.

Current Limited Entry Hunting (LEH) Zones polygons are hunting opportunities created via a lottery, and the details are found in the LEH Synopsis. Participation in the LEH draw is available to any resident of BC who legally possesses a BC Resident Hunter Number. The purpose of Limited Entry Hunting is to achieve wildlife management objectives without resorting to such measures as shortening seasons or completely closing areas. It is only introduced where it has become necessary to limit the number of hunters, limit the number of animals that may be taken, or limit the harvest to a certain class of animal. The Zones are valid during the LEH hunting season, and changes are made effective July 1st of each yearly. Some zones change frequently, some change rarely.

This dataset identifies the geographic locations of marine ports, terminals, shipyards, and harbours on the west coast of British Columbia. The points were reviewed and cross referenced with government and industry data sources for geographic and attribute data accuracy.

Please visit the Manitoba Property Assessment website for more information www.gov.mb.ca/assessmentBoundary geometry for all of the assessed property within the Province of Manitoba. Please visit the Manitoba Property Assessment website for more information www.gov.mb.ca/assessment. The purpose is to provide end users with a digital map of Manitoba's property assessment boundaries and summary assessment data. This data layer is suitable for GIS georeferencing. The Manitoba Property Assessment Information data reflects the most current mapping data available and was originally uploaded to Manitoba Maps as a feature layer on December 23, 2016. Fields Included: OBJECTID: Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated ROLL_NO: Identify property within a municipality ROLL_NO_TXT: Identify property within a municipality. Formatted with 3 decimals PROPERTY_ADDRESS: Civic address if the property has one. Otherwise short legal description-section/township/range or plan MUNI_NO: Manitoba municipality identifier number MUNICIPALITY: Manitoba municipality identifier number and legal name of municipality MUNI_NAME_WITH_TYP: Name of municipality suitable for alphabetical list including type ASMT_ROLL: Tax year and assessment roll version (Preliminary, Final, Tax) DWELLING_UNITS: Number of dwelling units on the property FRONTAGE_OR_AREA: size of property in either acres or feet of frontage TOTAL_VALUE: Assessed value of property as of tax year and assessment roll version

Geolocated data and maps illustrating the delimitation of industrial-port areas. The industrial-port zone is a delimited space used for industrial purposes and located near port services as well as road and rail infrastructures. This proximity represents a considerable comparative advantage for businesses, especially for those in the processing sector, since it allows easy access to inputs and an adequate distribution of the goods produced to North American and international markets.For more information: (source: https://www.economie.gouv.qc.ca/bibliotheques/strategies/avantage-saint-laurent-la-nouvelle-vision-maritime-du-quebec/zones-industrialo-portuaires)Note that this database is constantly evolving according to the pace of formalization of the zones.The structure includes the following fields:- Name of the zone, for example Québec-Lévis- Date of formalization of the zone, for example 2017-07-06- Description of the sector: Anse-au-Foulon (this name is given by the committee)- Geometry of the sector- Name of the municipality where the sector is located, for example Quebec- Geographic code of the municipality where the sector is located (unique 5-digit code), for example 23027 (for Quebec)- Area in km² of the sector, for example 0.421755**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
