Consolidated Local Health Areas (CLHAs) Boundaries. B.C. Consolidated Local Health Areas (CLHAs) are a health geography standard that partitions the province into distinct areas that support coordination of specialized care between Health Authorities and Primary Care. The province is divided into five Health Authorities, which are subdivided into 41 Consolidated Local Health Areas (CLHAs), which are subdivided into 231 Community Health Service Areas (CHSAs). CLHAs encompass all of B.C., so the classification is exhaustive of all the land area in the province.

The porbeagle shark (Lamna nasus), is a species found in Atlantic Canadian waters which is encountered in commercial and recreational fisheries. Pop-up Satellite Archival Tags (PSAT) from Wildlife Computers were applied to porbeagle sharks from 2005 to 2021 to collect data on depth (pressure), temperature and ambient light level (for position estimation). Deployments were conducted in Canada and the Faroe Islands on commercial, recreational and scientific charters, typically in summer and fall but some over winter when the porbeagle commercial fishery was active in Canada. A variety of tag models were deployed: PAT 4 (n=1), Mk10 (N=41), and MiniPAT (N=15) and 51 of 57 tags reported. One individual shark was recaptured and the physical tag was returned. The porbeagle sharks tagged ranged in size from 76 cm to 249 cm Fork Length (curved); 42 were female, 15 were male. Time at liberty ranged from 4 – 356 days and 14 tags remained on for the programmed duration. Raw data transmitted from the PSAT’s after release was processed through Wildlife Computers software (GPE3) to get summary files, assuming a maximum swimming speed of 2m/s, NOAA OI SST V2 High Resolution data set for SST reference and ETOPO1-Bedrock dataset for bathymetry reference. The maximum likelihood position estimates are available in .csv and .kmz format and depth and temperature profiles are also in .csv format. Other tag outputs as well as metadata from the deployments can be obtained upon request from: warren.joyce@dfo-mpo.gc.ca or heather.bowlby@dfo-mpo.gc.ca.

This collection of eelgrass data has been collated to produce a national map of the location and distribution of eelgrass beds across Canada. The data providers collaborating in this initiative include Federal, Provincial and Municipal government departments and agencies, academia, non-governmental organizations, community groups, private sector, Indigenous groups and independent science organizations. The National Eelgrass Task Force (NETForce) is a collaborative, diverse and inclusive partnership of scientists, managers, and stakeholders working towards a concrete vision which is to create a national map of eelgrass distribution in Canada that is publicly accessible, dynamic, and useful for monitoring and collective decision-making. The eelgrass data were collected using various mapping techniques including species distribution models, benthic sonar, field measurements of habitat presence or absence, video transects, aerial photography, field validation, literature review, satellite imageries, LiDAR, Airborne spectrographic imaging, and Unoccupied Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The metadata provided by the partners relevant for their own projects and the field names were made similar for the compiled dataset. We also created additional fields that differentiated the datasets, and these include data provider, institution code, water body, mapping techniques, province, biogeographic region, eelgrass observation... Other fields are included depending on the original metadata provided by the data provider (i.e. eelgrass percentage cover, eelgrass density, map reference, image classification technique). The data span from 1987 to present, with some eelgrass beds being surveyed only once while others were sampled across several years. Uncertainty information associated with a dataset is included in the metadata when available. This map is intended to be evergreen and more eelgrass data will be added when available. This compiled dataset has been collected by many organizations for different purposes, using different survey techniques and different methodologies and, therefore, considerable care must be taken when using these data. For further information concerning specific datasets contact the data provider/institution and/or see the associated technical report (if available) included in the Report folder under the ‘Data and Resources’ section. This group of eelgrass data has been divided using the geographic boundaries of the Federal Marine Bioregions (https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/23eb8b56-dac8-4efc-be7c-b8fa11ba62e9). The title of each geodatabase (FGDB/GDB) contains the name of the bioregion. The Data Dictionary guide provides the fields description (English and French) from each layer included in the geodatabases.

# #Données of the 2022 Hydroclimatic Atlas ## #Description The Hydroclimatic Atlas describes the current and future water regime in southern Quebec in order to support the implementation of water management practices that are resilient to climate change. These data are from the most recent version of the [Hydroclimatic Atlas] (https://www.cehq.gouv.qc.ca/atlas-hydroclimatique). ## #Nouveautés * Improvement of the spatial resolution of the hydrographic network; * Greater spatial coverage; * Addition of the ClimeX and CORDEX-NA sets, in addition to the scenarios of the CMIP5 set; * Use of six hydrological platforms; * Addition of indicators, especially annual ones. * Etc. ## #Liste data available * Link to the new Hydroclimatic Atlas website. * Map of the 24,604 river sections from the Hydroclimatic Atlas with their attributes, available in GeoJSON and shapefile format. To facilitate download and display, the map is divided into 11 GeoJSON files: ABIT (Abitibi and Lac Abitibi region), CND west (North Shore A and B regions), CND east (North Shore regions C, D and E), GASP (North Shore regions C, D and E), GASP (Gaspésie), MONT (Gaspesie), MONT (Montégérie), OUTM (Outaouais Upstream), OUTV (Outaouais Downstream), OUTV (Outaouais Downstream), SAGU (Saguenay), SLNO (St-Laurent north-west), SLSO (St-Laurent south-west) and VAUD (Vaudreuil). * The CSV tables (“Magnitude...”) for each of the 76 hydrological indicators describing the __ampliture__, __direction__ and __dispersion__ for RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, for the three future horizons (see the [documentation] (https://www.donneesquebec.ca/recherche/dataset/8bc217ff-d25d-4f55-a9a7-ada3df4b29a7/resource/086e3a6d-9e79-4aee-81c3-4b2343bf7996/download/metadonnees_atlas2022.pdf) for details). * The CSV tables (“Projected Indicator...”) for each of the 76 hydrological indicators detailing the flow values with their uncertainty for the historical period and the three future horizons (RCP4.5 and 8.5).
