Important Areas for cetaceans in the West Coast Vancouver Island ecoregion were mapped to inform the selection of marine Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas. Experts identified these areas based on high rankings in criteria like Uniqueness, Aggregation, and Fitness Consequences. The data collection for this region was conducted in 2009, building on earlier efforts from 2004-2005.
Available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOJSON, FGDB/GDB, ESRI REST). License is ca-ogl-lgo (Open Government Licence - Canada). The dataset should be treated as a separate effort from earlier assessments in the PNCIMA region due to potential differences in methods and advisors.
