This dataset presents the first comprehensive, high-resolution (10-meter) wetland inventory map covering the entire 32.2 million square kilometers of the Pan-Arctic region, of which 14 million square kilometers (43%) is terrestrial and 18.4 million square kilometers (57%) is marine. Generated through advanced Earth Observation and machine learning techniques, the map was produced using multi-year (2020–2022), multi-source satellite imagery—including Sentinel‑1, Sentinel‑2, and ALOS PALSAR‑2—as well as various environmental features such as elevation. Over 1,000 wetland polygons were analyzed using an object-based random forest classification workflow on the Google Earth Engine cloud platform, achieving an average overall classification accuracy of 89%.The mapping extent was defined according to the Arctic Council’s Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF) boundary, resulting in the identification of 2,947,618 km² of wetlands, representing 20% of the land area within the Pan-Arctic region. This dataset establishes a consistent and authoritative baseline for pan-Arctic wetlands, leveraging the latest advances in Earth Observation, machine learning, and cloud computing. The Canadian Wetland Classification System was used and includes the major wetland classes: bog, fen, marsh, swamp, and water.The overall wetlands coverage by country within the CAFF boundary was: Canada (27%), United States of America (i.e., Alaska 39%), Finland (31%), Iceland (8%), Norway (17%), Sweden (26%), Kingdom of Denmark (i.e., Greenland 1%), and the Russian Federation (21%).​Development of this product was undertaken by Natural Resource Canada's Canada Centre for Mapping and Earth Observation and the Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure Division in collaboration with the Arctic Council’s CAFF biodiversity group, CAFF Wetland Experts Group, national organisations mandated to monitor wetlands, and Arctic National Mapping Agencies, and Canadian company C-CORE, integrating ground truth data collected from Alaska, Finland, Sweden, and the Kingdom of Denmark through partner agencies and digital image interpretation. More than 60,000 images (2020-2022), primarily covering summer periods, were processed to ensure robust results.This dataset provides essential baseline information for Earth Observation monitoring of climate change impacts and supports critical environmental surveillance for Arctic and remote northern communities.

These data are an extract from the regional plan for wetlands and bodies of water for the agglomeration of Montreal (in the process of being adopted). They illustrate the wetlands and their 30-meter protected areas that are targeted by interim control measures, i.e. the map data in Appendix A - Interim Control: wetlands to be protected or restored. (Interim control resolution relating to the protection of wetlands (CG23 0753) and interim control regulation relating to the protection of wetlands (RCG 24-008)).It is possible to visualize the data on the [interactive map] (https://smvt.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=637aeb612e4c48eda895ab8e58505765) associated with the interim controls regulation. **This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

This data set contains the polygons delimiting the wetlands of the Montreal agglomeration.These were updated as part of the development of the [Regional Plan for Humid and Hydric Environments (PRMHH)] (https://montreal.ca/articles/un-plan-pour-proteger-les-milieux-humides-et-hydriques-67104) for the agglomeration of Montreal. They illustrate the wetlands, the type of environment and the conservation choices that have been assigned to them to meet the objectives of the Regional Plan.A visualization of the data is possible on the [interactive map] (https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/87e6da34dc3348a1a5e3f1014c266242) associated with the PRMHH.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

The 2023 mapping of potential wetlands in Quebec (CMHPQ) 2023, released by the Directorate of Ecological Knowledge (DCE), provides up-to-date information on the potential presence of wetlands for the entire province of Quebec. In particular, version 2023 contains the classification of potentially humid geographical entities according to a selected typology and the assignment of a level of confidence associated with each entity and integrates new data sources. This mapping is an aggregation of different databases produced for other purposes and at different scales. The result of this assembly depends on the precision and accuracy of each of the data sources used. This data must be used while remaining vigilant with regard to their potential and limitations.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
