{ "currentVersion": 10.91, "cimVersion": "2.9.0", "id": 19, "name": "Important Areas for Geography in Strait of Georgia Ecoregion/Zones importantes pour les caractéristiques géographiques dans l\u2019écorégion du détroit de Georgia", "type": "Feature Layer", "description": "

This layer details Important Areas (IAs) relevant to important geographic features in the Strait of Georgia (SOG) ecoregion. This data was mapped to inform the selection of marine Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas (EBSA). Experts have indicated that these areas are relevant based upon their high ranking in one or more of three criteria (Uniqueness, Aggregation, and Fitness Consequences). The distribution of IAs within ecoregions is used in the designation of EBSAs.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Canada\u2019s Oceans Act provides the legislative framework for an integrated ecosystem approach to management in Canadian oceans, particularly in areas considered ecologically or biologically significant. DFO has developed general guidance for the identification of ecologically or biologically significant areas. The criteria for defining such areas include uniqueness, aggregation, fitness consequences, resilience, and naturalness. This science advisory process identifies proposed EBSAs in Canadian Pacific marine waters, specifically in the Strait of Georgia (SOG), along the west coast of Vancouver Island (WCVI, southern shelf ecoregion), and in the Pacific North Coast Integrated Management Area (PNCIMA, northern shelf ecoregion).<\/SPAN><\/P>

Initial assessment of IAs in PNCIMA was carried out in September 2004 to March 2005 with spatial data collection coordinated by Cathryn Clarke. Subsequent efforts in WCVI and SOG were conducted in 2009, and may have used different scientific advisors, temporal extents, data, and assessment methods. WCVI and SOG IA assessment in some cases revisits data collected for PNCIMA, but should be treated as a separate effort.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Other datasets in this series detail IAs for birds, cetaceans, coral and sponges, fish, invertebrates, and other vertebrates.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Cette couche de données présente en détail les zones importantes (ZI) pour les caractéristiques géographiques importantes dans l\u2019écorégion du détroit de Georgia (DG). Ces données ont été cartographiées afin d\u2019éclairer la sélection des zones marines d\u2019importance écologique et biologique (ZIEB). Les experts ont indiqué que ces zones sont pertinentes en raison de leur classement élevé par rapport à l\u2019un ou plusieurs des trois critères suivants : unicité, concentration et conséquences sur la valeur adaptative. La répartition des ZI au sein des écorégions est utilisée pour la désignation des ZIEB.<\/SPAN><\/P>

La Loi sur les océans du Canada offre un cadre législatif pour la gestion des océans canadiens selon une approche complète des écosystèmes, en particulier dans les zones considérées comme importantes sur le plan écologique ou biologique. Pêches et Océans Canada (MPO) a élaboré des directives pour la désignation des zones d'importance écologique et biologique (ZIEB). Les critères servant à définir ces zones comprennent l'unicité, la concentration, les conséquences sur le succès reproducteur, la résilience et le caractère naturel. Le présent processus de consultation scientifique expose les propositions de zones d'importance écologique et biologique (ZIEB) dans les eaux marines dans la région canadienne du Pacifique, en particulier dans le détroit de Georgia, le long de la côte ouest de l'île de Vancouver (écorégion du plateau sud), et dans la zone de gestion intégrée de la côte nord du Pacifique (ZGICNP) (écorégion du plateau nord).<\/SPAN><\/P>

La première évaluation des ZI dans la ZGICNP s\u2019est déroulée de septembre 2004 à mars 2005. Cathryn Clarke a coordonné la collecte des données spatiales. D\u2019autres travaux ont été réalisés sur la côte ouest de l\u2019île de Vancouver (COIV) et dans le détroit de Georgia (DG) en 2009 et il se peut qu\u2019on ait eu recours à des conseillers scientifiques, des étendues temporelles, des données et des méthodes d\u2019évaluation différents. Dans certains cas, l\u2019évaluation des ZI sur la COIV et dans le DG permet de réviser les données recueillies au sujet de la ZGICNP; elle doit alors être traitée comme une activité distincte.<\/SPAN><\/P>

D\u2019autres ensembles de données de cette série présentent en détail les ZI pour les oiseaux, les cétacés, les coraux et les éponges, les poissons, les invertébrés et les autres vertébrés.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Bien que la collecte de données soit considérée comme terminée, l\u2019émergence de nouvelles données importantes peut justifier une révision des ZI au cas par cas.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>",
