The Department of National Defence has designated Firing Practice and Exercise Areas off the coasts of Canada. Activities in these areas may include bombing practice from aircraft, air-to-air, air-to-sea or ground firing, and anti-aircraft firing, etc. In Atlantic Canada, the Nova Scotia Area includes sea area employments for sub-surface operations and firing exercises (FIREX). The Gulf of St. Lawrence Area, excluding the French territorial waters of Saint-Pierre et Miquelon, includes sea area employments for sub-surface operations and underwater demolition training. For full details, see the Notices to Mariners, Section F, National Defence Military Notices, available online: https://www.notmar.gc.ca/publications/annual-annuel/section-f/f35-en.pdf. Legal Constraints: Users should be aware that the polygons depicting firing practice and exercise areas are intended for illustration only and should not be used for navigational or legal purposes.

This dataset provides geospatial polygon boundaries for marine bivalve shellfish harvest area classification in Prince Edward Island, Canada. These data represent the five classification categories of marine bivalve shellfish harvest areas (Approved; Conditionally Approved; Restricted; Conditionally Restricted; and Prohibited) under the Canadian Shellfish Sanitation Program (CSSP). Data are collected by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) for the purpose of making applicable classification recommendations on the basis of sanitary and water quality survey results. ECCC recommendations are reviewed and adopted by Regional Interdepartmental Shellfish Committees prior to regulatory implementation by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). These geographic data are for illustrative purposes only; they show shellfish harvest area classifications when in Open Status. The classification may be superseded at any time by regulatory orders issued by DFO, which place areas in Closed Status, due to conditions such as sewage overflows or elevated biotoxin levels. For further information about the current status and boundary coordinates for areas under Prohibition Order, please contact your local DFO office. This dataset is 'Deprecated'.

These datasets show commercial fisheries catch weight landings of directed fisheries and bycatch from the Scotian Shelf, the Bay of Fundy, and Georges Bank from NAFO Divisions 4VWX and the Canadian portions of 5Y and 5Z. Atlantic Canadian inter-regional maps of four species (Atlantic Halibut, Bluefin Tuna, Redfish and Scallop) are also included from NAFO Divisions 4RST, 3KLMNOP, and 2GHJ. Five-year composite maps (2014–2018) that aggregate catches for each map series are publicly available. The maps aggregate catch weight (kg) per 10 km2 hexagon grid cell for selected species, species groupings and gear types to identify important fishing areas. These maps may be used for decision making in coastal and oceans management, including marine spatial planning, environmental emergency response operations and protocols, Marine Stewardship Council certification processes, marine protected area networks, and ecological risk assessment. These datasets have been filtered to comply with the Government of Canada's privacy policy. Privacy assessments were conducted to identify NAFO unit areas containing data with less than five vessel IDs, licence IDs or fisher IDs. If this threshold was not met, catch weight locations were withheld from these unit areas to protect the identity or activity of individual vessels or companies. Maps were created for the following species, species groupings and gear types: 1. Groundfish (all species) 2. Groundfish Bottom Trawl 3. Groundfish Gillnet 4. Groundfish Bottom Longline 5. Groundfish (quarterly composites Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) 6. Atlantic Cod 7. Atlantic Cod, Haddock and Pollock 8. Flatfish 9. Atlantic Halibut 10. Greenland Halibut (Turbot) 11. Hagfish 12. Cusk 13.

The water level data comes from the groundwater monitoring network of Prince Edward Island (Canadian province). Each well in the observation network is equipped with a hydrostatic pressure transducer and a temperature sensor connected to a data logger. A second pressure transducer located above the water surface allows for adjusting the water level according to atmospheric pressure variations. The time series refers to the level below which the soil is saturated with water at the site and at the time indicated. The water level is expressed in meters above sea level (MASL). The dataset consists of a general description of the observation site including; the identifier, the name, the location, the elevation and a series of numerical values designating the water levels at a defined date and time of measurement.

These datasets show the general spatial distribution of commercial fishing harvest and landed values by fishery on a 1km x 1km planning grid. They aggregate key statistics around fleet specific fishing activity and catch in British Columbia (BC) within the exclusive economic zone (EEZ). These gridded data describe the annual average landed weight (Rounded KGs), and landed catch values (CAD $2016) of the subject fishery over the period. The data represented were created from logbook records and matched to prices from fish slips submitted to DFO by participants of BC’s commercial fishing fleets. The dataset is comprised of an aggregate of all species over 10, 9, or 5 years of fishing seasons, depending on the fishery. To preserve potentially proprietary information, a privacy filtering Rule of Five has been applied to each planning unit (each 1km x 1km planning unit). If any planning units do not meet this minimum of 5 unique vessels/unique identifiers during the time span then they are flagged as being filtered and an average of all filtered planning units is applied. The accompanying GeoDB contains two data layers, “all_fisheries_filtered_gridded “, which includes all of the commercial fisheries data in 1km x 1km grids, and “DFO_marine_bioregions_NSB_subregions”, which includes polygon feature boundaries for the federal marine bioregions and Northern Shelf bioregion sub-regions. This dataset contains data for the following fisheries: - Bottom trawl (2012-2016) - Midwater trawl (2012-2016) - Shrimp by trawl (2007-2016) - Prawn trap (2007-2016) - Rockfish (2012-2016) - Sablefish (2007-2016) - Halibut (2007-2016) - Combo trips - halibut/sablefish (2007-2016) - Lingcod (2007-2016) - Green sea urchin (2006-2015) - Red sea urchin (2007-2015) - Sea cucumber (2008-2016) - Geoduck (2007-2015)

This dataset was developed to provide a complete record of salmon rivers within the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It is organized by DFO detachment area and can be used for resource planning and management purposes. It is suitable for general mapping, visualization and query. It is derived from the National Hydro Network (NHN) data. The geodatabase contains feature datasets for each of the 8 DFO detachments in Newfoundland and Labrador (Bay Roberts, Clarenville, Goose Bay, Marystown, Rocky Harbour, Springdale, Stephenville, Twillingate). Each of the feature datasets contain 4 feature classes that describe aspects of the salmon rivers within each detachment area. The RiverBasins feature class contains polygons outlining the extent of each of the salmon river watersheds that fall within that DFO detachment area. Polygons were delineated using provincial DEMs, National Hydro Network (NHN) river features, the DFO detachment area boundary, and tools contained in the ArcHydro toolset for ArcPro GIS software. The SalmonNetwork feature class contains lines which show the flow (undirected) of the river network through each of the salmon river watersheds that fall within that DFO detachment area. The flow is depicted by lines that run through rivers and streams and through waterbodies. The lines were imported from the National Hydro Network (Primary Directed Flow feature class) and then organized by salmon river watershed, to create a dataset with one line feature for each watershed. The SalmonRivers feature class contains lines which show salmon rivers within each of the salmon river watersheds that fall within that DFO detachment area. The lines were imported from the National Hydro Network (SLWater feature class) and then organized by salmon river watershed, to create a dataset with one line feature for each watershed. Only "single-line" rivers are included. Larger, "two-sided" rivers are depicted as polygons in the "Salmon Waterbodies" dataset. This SalmonWaterbodies feature class contains polygons which show salmon waterbodies within each of the salmon river watersheds that fall within that DFO detachment area. The polygons were imported from the National Hydro Network (Waterbody feature class) and then organized by salmon river watershed, to create a dataset with one polygon feature for each watershed. Larger, "two-sided" rivers are also depicted as polygons in the "Salmon Waterbodies" dataset. The geodatabase contains attribute information on the name, zone and class of each salmon river as reflected in the following documents: (i) Anglers' Guide - Scheduled Salmon Rivers of Newfoundland and Labrador and (ii) Conservation and Protection - Scheduled Salmon Rivers & DFO Detachment Regions Newfoundland and Labrador. It also provides links to online information on current in-season status
