This layer contains point features that represent reconnaissance till sampling locations collected by the New Brunswick Geological Survey between 1986 and 2014. Samples were collected on an approximated 2 km grid, with increased density over areas of interest. At each location, observations and measurements about the forest soil profile, terrain surface, and (in some locations) forest species information were recorded, and a soil sample was collected for geochemical, lithological, and grain size analysis. Observational data are included in this layer, but analytical results are not included in this layer.

The Nova Scotia Lake Survey program is a partnership initiative between the Department of Environment and Climate Change and the Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture to inventory lakes throughout the province determining baseline water quality, in support of both sport fisheries and water resource management areas. The following weblink connects to a Department of Environment and Climate Change web map that includes the locations of the monitored lakes within the province and an alternative method for downloading the same lake chemistry dataset: http://nse.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=7ded7a30bef44f848e8a4fc8672c89bd"

Ascophyllum nodosum, locally known as rockweed, is harvested in the Bay of Fundy and is managed by limiting harvest within sectors and through area closures. Closed areas are closed year-round and include: exclusion areas for management, research, conservation, transportation or security purposes; study sites that are set aside for study purposes; and long term reference areas that are control sites for potential experiments linked to rockweed and it’s associated biota. Special rockweed management areas have a delayed opening (July 1st) to conserve seabird populations and avoid harvesting during their breeding season. Only the sectors southwest of the Saint John Harbour are actively harvested.

The Ontario Vector Topographic Data Cache is a collection of topographic data, that has been preprocessed for fast, seamless display at predefined scales. The topographic data includes constructed and natural features that make up Ontario’s landscape. The cache provides limited data from areas outside Ontario’s boundaries, such as the United States and adjacent provinces and territories. __Technical information__ Two versions of the Topographic Data Cache are available: 1. The traditional raster version is available for a variety of GIS applications and is updated annually. 2. The vector version is suitable for online web map applications as well as modern GIS software and is updated twice a year. Contributing data layers may have different maintenance and update cycles. Some cache layers have been processed in a way that makes it easier for them to be displayed in a mapping product. Other layers are unchanged from the authoritative data. The cartographic symbology used in the data cache is intentionally muted to allow users to showcase their data. The Ontario Vector Topographic Data Cache is created from many source datasets, which are described in the Ontario Vector Topographic Data Cache user guide. If you are interested in getting this authoritative data, you can download it from the [Ontario GeoHub](http://www.ontario.ca/geohub). For instructions on getting a copy of either version of the cache for use in mapping applications, visit the [Ontario GeoHub](http://www.ontario.ca/geohub).
