As part of this mandate, this spatial database has been developed to identify areas in which aquatic species listed under SARA may be found. Distribution and range information are identified for species listed as Extirpated, Endangered, Threatened or Special Concern under SARA.

Access to information restraints prevents exact distribution for certain species to be published.This dataset is complete as of July 2021. Data updates and new species additions will be incorporated within the dataset according to the maintenance schedule. This dataset includes distribution or range that is based on known (occurrence-based) data and/or potential (e.g. modelled) data for each species. Spatial data was derived from COSEWIC, Recovery Potential Assessment reports, other species documents and scientific data. The best available data was used for each species; however, the state of data differed across species. All data was reviewed and validated by species experts and DFO SAR biologists. Data Complete 2021-07-13T00:00:00 Data sources are (at minimum quality) digitized from the Recovery documents or COSEWIC reports. When possible, the data was improved by using 1:50k (or better) water lines and waterbodies (Natural Resources Data CANVEC).
