A feature is a representation of a real world object, such as a lake, stream, dam or rapid. There are three hydrographic feature classes:  points, lines and polys.   All may impede or be hazardous to waterflow and/or navigation on a watercourse or waterbody. This data shows natural and manmade poly features.  Examples include: * break walls * dams * rapids * shipwrecks [Technical Bulletin: Data migrated to new Ontario Hydro Network (OHN) - Hydrographic Feature Data Classes (PDF)](http://geo2.scholarsportal.info/proxy.html?http:__maps.scholarsportal.info/files/PDFS/public/OGDE/OHN/TB-OHN-PostMigration_101112.pdf) *[GIS]: geographic information system

Get information on research plots for the Guide Effectiveness Monitoring Program This dataset includes ecological information for Guide Effectiveness Monitoring (GEM) Program site locations. The GEM Program evalutes the effectiveness of forest management guides on songbird occupancy rate and community structure. Learn about the procedures and protocols used for this study in the [Centre for Northern Forest Ecosystem Research Technical Report 004: Effectiveness Monitoring of Forest Management Guides](https://www.ontario.ca/page/catalogue-natural-resource-scientific-and-technical-publications).

The flood magnitude statistics can be used for applications such as flood plain delineation and design of hydraulic structures. The drought severity statistics can be used for applications such as water abstraction and effluent dilution.

These data consist of the Recreational Shark Fishing Tournament landings database (1993-2022 inclusive) and the Canadian Dart tag database (2006 onwards; updated annually). Both were collected by the Maritimes Science Division of Fisheries and Oceans Canada. The landings records include biological sampling from 4266 animals and the dart tag records include 4138 tagging and 97 recapture events to date. Potential users should consult Bowlby et al. (2022) for the description, management history, and technical details pertaining to these data. Information is focused on Blue Sharks because they were the primary species captured at recreational tournaments. Cite this data as: Bowlby, H., Joyce, W.

Fish Habitat Type Data for Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry's Parry Sound District used for fisheries management.

The dataset has been used for the Great Lakes Conservation Blueprint Project for Aquatic Biodiversity. It can be used for: * research and aquatic species inventories * environmental impact and monitoring * watershed based resource planning and management * fisheries and other aquatic analysis Official GEO title: Aquatic Ecosystems Classification: Great Lakes Basin - Coast, Streams, Lakes and Wetlands

Forest stands identified under the Nova Scotia Old Growth Forest Policy.

Shows areas where the health and prevalence of caribou can be linked to the attributes of the land that supports them. Ontario's Woodland Caribou Recovery Strategy (2008) provides advice and recommendations on the approaches needed for the recovery of Woodland Caribou. The strategy recommends the identification of ranges and local populations to: * maintain existing, self-sustaining, genetically-connected local populations of caribou * ensure security for and (reproductive) connections among currently isolated mainland caribou * re-establish caribou in strategic areas to create self-sustaining local populations and ensure connectivity Instructions for downloading this dataset: * select the link below and scroll down the metadata record page until you find **Transfer Options** in the **Distribution Information** section, * select the link beside the **Data for download** label, * you must provide your name, organization and email address in order to access the dataset This product requires the use of GIS software. *[GIS]: geographic information system

The built boundary identifies built-up urban areas across the Greater Golden Horseshoe. It is a fixed line that reflects what was built and on the ground when the Growth Plan came into effect in June 2006. The boundaries are an important implementation and monitoring tool for the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The built boundary will allow the province and others to measure intensification and redevelopment within the built-up area, and also allow us to monitor suburban development outside the built-up area. The built boundary was released in its final form on April 2, 2008, along with the methodology used to create it. This product requires the use of GIS software. *[GIS]: geographic information system
