Pacific marine habitat classes for cumulative impact mapping / by Selina Agbayani and Cathryn Clarke Murray. : Fs97-6/3608E-PDF

"Canada's oceans are made up of a diversity of habitats that support its productive ecosystems. In order to manage and protect Canada's marine ecosystems and the ecosystem services that depend upon them, an understanding of the location and condition of habitat is important. The marine habitats spatial dataset we describe here is a three-dimensional characterization of the inshore and offshore environments of Canada's Pacific Ocean. The habitat classification was selected to match the habitat classes used for assessing vulnerability scores in cumulative impact mapping modelling. The Pacific marine habitats dataset is compiled from various sources to depict the diversity of habitat types in the region, including biogenic habitats, pelagic habitats, and general bottom, or benthic, types classified by depth strata"--Abstract, page vii.
