These themes present the compilation of protected areas in Quebec. They also include significant territories. Protected areas include a variety of different legal or administrative designations. Territories listed in the Register of Protected Areas must meet the definition of protected area in the Natural Heritage Conservation Act (LCPN; RLRQ, chapter C-61.01) or that of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The LCPN definition is “A protected area is a territory, in terrestrial or aquatic environments, geographically delimited, whose legal framework and administration are specifically aimed at ensuring the protection and maintenance of biological diversity and associated natural and cultural resources.” Whereas IUCN defines it as “A clearly defined geographical space, recognized, dedicated and managed, by any effective means, legal or otherwise, in order to ensure the long-term conservation of nature as well as the ecosystem services and cultural values associated with it.” A territory of importance for conservation is a geographically delimited territory, for which the Ministry of the Environment and the Fight against Climate Change (MELCC) or an authority of the Government of Quebec has expressed its intention to prioritize its allocation for protected areas.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

This dataset provides marine bacteriological water quality data for bivalve shellfish harvest areas in British Columbia, Canada. Shellfish harvest area water temperature and salinity data are also provided as adjuncts to the interpretation of fecal coliform density data. The latter is the indicator of fecal matter contamination monitored annually by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) within the framework of the Canadian Shellfish Sanitation Program (CSSP). The geospatial positions of the sampling sites are also provided. These data are collected by ECCC for the purpose of making recommendations on the classification of shellfish harvest area waters. ECCC recommendations are reviewed and adopted by Regional Interdepartmental Shellfish Committees prior to regulatory implementation by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO).
