Purpose

The purpose of this dataset is to display the number of BCMCA marine plant features used in the Marxan analysis that are found in each 2 km x 2 km planning unit.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 socio-economic spatial data at scales relevant to a BC coast-wide analysis.

Description

The marxan file for each BCMCA feature was dissolved by planning unit so that classified features (e.g. seabird colonies classified by relative importance) were considered a single feature. The attribute tables of the dissolved features were appended to a single table in MS Access. A value of '1' was assigned to all features and a query was run to get a count of the features in each planning unit. The query results were joined to the planning unit spatial data for display in ArcGIS.
