Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas (EBSAs) are geospatial polygons identifying marine zones of special biological or ecological importance within Canada's oceans. The dataset is produced by Fisheries and Oceans Canada through formal scientific assessments incorporating species data, physical conditions, and traditional knowledge. It was last updated in March 2026.
Released under the Open Government Licence - Canada (OGL-CA-2.0). Defining an area as a non-EBSA does not indicate it is ecologically unimportant.
