New Brunswick Shellfish Aquaculture Site Leases and Status

Marine Aquaculture Site Mapping Program (MASMP) - Shellfish provides geospatial and tabular data on shellfish aquaculture sites in New Brunswick's tidal waters. The dataset includes lease numbers, current status, and area measurements for each site, accessible in multiple formats including CSV, KML, and GeoJSON.

Use Cases

• Map shellfish aquaculture lease locations and their current status using geospatial formats like KML and SHP.
• Analyze the distribution of lease area measurements (in m2) across different site status categories.
• Join lease number and status data with other marine spatial datasets for coastal management planning.

Strengths

• Data is provided in 8 different formats (RSS, CSV, KML, XML, GEOJSON, HTML, KMZ, SHP) for flexible use.
• Officially sourced and maintained by the Government of New Brunswick.
• Includes key operational attributes like lease number, status, and area for each site.

Limitations

• The sample data and specific row/column counts are unavailable, limiting assessment of dataset scale.
• Geographic scope is limited to the tidal waters of New Brunswick, Canada.
