The Ministry of Public Security (MSP) supports the development of knowledge of flood risks. Flood markers make it possible to illustrate the water level reached during a very major flood and thus to raise public awareness of the risks associated with it while maintaining this awareness of risk in the collective memory. __What is a flood marker? __A flood marker is a physical mark (15 cm in diameter for the standard) testifying to the maximum level reached by a watercourse during a very significant flood on a given date. The flood marker is usually located at a permanent location and is easily visible to everyone, for example on the wall of a building or on a dedicated pole.__Point dataset “Flood markers” __ The “Flood reference” data set contains, for each marker, the location, the date of the reference flood and the maximum water level reached. The list of all attributes is provided in the dataset description sheet (Additional Information section).Despite the quality of the work carried out, the Ministry of Public Security cannot guarantee the absence of errors in the data.__Related datasets__ The “Water levels during a flood” dataset produced by the Ministry of Public Security also contains maximum water levels reached during a flood. The link to this dataset is provided in the _Documentation_ section.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

The Ministry of Public Security (MSP) supports the development of knowledge of flood risks. In collaboration with Laval University and the Reunification of Quebec Basin Organizations, the MSP has developed a methodical and rigorous process for documenting floods that have an impact on the safety of people and essential goods.Thus, since 2017, the Ministry of Public Security (MSP) has been acquiring in certain cases data related to the water level reached when floods with proven consequences occur in southern Quebec. Maximum water levels are indicated by flood overflows.__What is a flood wasteland? __A flood (flood) is characterized by a rise in water on land that is usually dry, the reaching of a peak, then a descent of water (decline). Waste forms at the beginning of the flood when the water, when withdrawing, deposits materials that were in suspension or floating. These materials (mud, seeds, twigs and other debris) constitute flood wastes or flood plains.__Marking and surveying flood plains and water levels__The marking of floodplains and water levels takes place on the ground shortly after the peak of the flood. The physical indices of the maximum water level reached (abandoned by the flood) or of the current water levels are identified and marked using permanent markers (markers). Afterwards, a land surveyor will precisely record the location and the altitude of the markers. __Point dataset “Water levels during a flood"__The “Water levels during a flood” data set contains, for each marker, the date, altitude and location (measured by a land surveyor). There are two main types of observations made in the field: the natural flood defect (line of mud, seeds or trace of water) which indicates the maximum water level reached during the flood (called MAX) and the water level observed during the field visit (called CURRENT). The list of all attributes is provided in the dataset description sheet (Additional Information section).Despite the quality of the work carried out, the Ministry of Public Security cannot guarantee the absence of errors in the data.__Related datasets__ The “Flood markers” dataset produced by the Ministry of Public Security also contains maximum water levels reached during a flood. The link to this dataset is provided in the _Documentation_ section.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

This map locates the areas of high current and low current of the Ottawa and Gatineau rivers. The low-current zone corresponds to the part of the floodplain, beyond the limit of the high-current zone, that can be flooded during a 100-year recurrent flood. The high-current zone that corresponds to the part of a floodplain that can be flooded during a 20-year recurrent flood. The floodplain corresponds to the space occupied by a lake or a watercourse during a flood period within the meaning of the Policy for the Protection of Coastal Shores and Floodplains.

Orders in Council (OIC) are regulations or legislative orders in relation to and authorized by an existing Act. This table identifies Yukon lands withdrawn from disposal, usually by Territorial Order in Council. In Corporate Spatial Warehouse (CSW) data is split out into spatial views by Act under which orders are authorized. The tables are comprehensive and include both active and expired orders. Spatial views show only the active data.In this table and spatial views, Regulations by Order in Council (OIC) are spatially represented to provide clarity regarding Yukon lands withdrawn from disposal. Spatial data is viewed by the Act under which the order is authorized. Not all orders are for withdrawal, different levels of withdrawal are common and not detailed in GIS attributes. It is important to read OIC documents for specific details ( [https://legislation.yukon.ca/legislation/page_a.html](https://legislation.yukon.ca:443/legislation/page_a.html) ).Distributed from [GeoYukon](https://yukon.ca/geoyukon) by the [Government of Yukon](https://yukon.ca/maps) .

A regulated flood zone is an area of land likely to be flooded and delimited by mapping or, along the St. Lawrence River, by flood ratings. On the territory of Quebec City, the only regulated and mapped flood zones are appended to the revised Land Use and Development Plan (SAD). These areas, which are added to the river's flood zone delimited by flood ratings, are subject to the special standards of the transitional regime for the management of flood zones, banks and coastlines since 1 March 2022. ATTENTION: The route indicating the boundaries of flood zones is for illustrative purposes only. Legal delimitation work must be validated in the field by a land surveyor for each property concerned. Quebec City declines all responsibility for the interpretation of available data.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

The mako shark (Isurus oxyrinchus), is a species found in Atlantic Canadian waters which is encountered in commercial and recreational fisheries. Pop-up Satellite Archival Tags (PSAT) from Wildlife Computers were applied to mako sharks from 2011 to 2013 to collect data on depth (pressure), temperature and ambient light level (for position estimation). Deployments were conducted in Canada on commercial vessels, typically in summer and fall from July to October. Two types of tag models were deployed: Mk10 (N=28), and MiniPAT (N=9) and 28 of 37 tags reported (one female shark was recaptured). The mako sharks tagged ranged in size from 80 cm to 229 cm Fork Length (curved); 13 were female, 17 were male, and 7 were unknown sex. Time at liberty ranged from 0 – 185 days and 6 tags remained on for the programmed duration. Raw data transmitted from the PSAT’s after release was processed through Wildlife Computers software (GPE3) to get summary files, assuming a maximum swimming speed of 2m/s, NOAA OI SST V2 High Resolution data set for SST reference and ETOPO1-Bedrock dataset for bathymetry reference. The maximum likelihood position estimates are available in .csv and .kmz format and depth and temperature profiles are also in .csv format. Other tag outputs as well as metadata from the deployments can be obtained upon request from: warren.joyce@dfo-mpo.gc.ca or heather.bowlby@dfo-mpo.gc.ca.

The blue shark (Prionace glauca), is a species found in Atlantic Canadian waters which is commonly encountered in commercial and recreational fisheries. Pop-up Satellite Archival Tags (PSAT) and Smart Position and Temperature tag (SPOT) from Wildlife Computers were applied to blue sharks from 2004 to 2008 to collect data on depth (pressure), temperature and ambient light level (for position estimation). Deployments were conducted in Canada on commercial and recreational vessels from mid-August to early October, but mostly in September. A variety of tag models were deployed: PAT 4 (n=16), Mk10 (N=28), and SPOT3 (N=2) and 39 of 46 tags reported. The blue sharks tagged ranged in size from 124 cm to 251 cm Fork Length (curved); 30 were female, 15 were male and 1 was unknown sex. Time at liberty ranged from 4 – 210 days and 16 tags remained on for the programmed duration. Raw data transmitted from the PSAT’s after release was processed through Wildlife Computers software (GPE3) to get summary files, assuming a maximum swimming speed of 2m/s, NOAA OI SST V2 High Resolution data set for SST reference and ETOPO1-Bedrock dataset for bathymetry reference. The maximum likelihood position estimates are available in .csv and .kmz format and depth and temperature profiles are also in .csv format.

Get data on Lake Ontario tagged Atlantic salmon recaptures. This dataset represents tagged adult Atlantic salmon that were released and then recaptured by anglers. These fish were used as brood stock (breeding) in the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s fish culture program. All fish were tagged with a streamer tag near the dorsal fin. Each tag has a unique number and a phone number so anglers can call and let the ministry know about their catch. The data includes: * tagging date * recapture date * tag number/colour * location released * location recaptured * days since released * distance travelled

The Brier Island/Digby Neck area has been identified as an Ecologically and Biologically Significant Area (EBSA) by Fisheries and Oceans Canada and is one of four marine areas within the Bay of Fundy recognised by Parks Canada as of national significance for marine conservation planning. The area is representative of important outer Bay of Fundy features with significant marine mammal, bird, and benthic diversity including potentially important aggregations of sensitive benthic species such as horse mussel and sponge. Much of the information used for this recognition is now over 40 years old and should be re-validated using standardised georeferenced survey methods. As a first phase, a diver-based survey of the sublittoral habitats and associated species was conducted in August and September of 2017 for the Brier Island area. This report summarises the major sublittoral habitat types, species assemblages, and oceanographic conditions observed at 20 locations including Northwest and Southwest Ledges, Gull Rock, Peter’s Island, and Grand Passage. A total of 962 records were made of 178 taxa, consisting of 43 algae and 135 animals. Comparison with historical records largely confirmed the continued presence of unique habitats and species assemblages for which this area was initially recognised as an EBSA. Differences in species richness observed for cryptic and less known taxonomic groups such as sponges and bryozoans were attributable to changes in survey methods and knowledge. Based on these findings, additional surveys of inshore and offshore Brier Island using more quantitative methods developed for other Bay of Fundy EBSAs would further support regional MPA network planning and provide relative scales of species diversity and habitat coverage for this area.

Considered the "king" of sea lions, the Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) is the biggest of all sea lions and enjoys a lifespan of up to thirty years. In Canada, the Steller can be spotted along the rocky coast of British Columbia. This hefty mammal usually travels alone or in a small group, but wisely, it joins others for protection during the mating and birthing season. Little is known about its oceanic lifestyle; however, the good news for this sea-loving mammal is that since the Steller sea lion first became protected in 1970, the size of the adult population has more than doubled. Recent trends in the abundance of Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) in British Columbia were assessed based on a series of thirteen province-wide aerial surveys conducted during the breeding season (27-June to 06-July) between 1971 and 2013.
