Description: The Pacific Marine Ecological Classification System (PMECS) was developed in 2016 to help categorize species, habitats, and ecosystems into ecological classes at varying spatial scales in Canada’s Pacific Region to support Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) activities and Marine Protected Area (MPA) network development (Rubidge et al. 2016). Geomorphic units are one level of the hierarchical PMECS that is suitable for informing ecosystem-based management decisions. At the scale of 100s of km, geomorphic units are areas with similar benthic features that are often associated with distinct biota. Spatial data developed to populate the PMECS geomorphic units focused on the Northern Shelf Bioregion and the continental slope portion of the Southern Shelf Bioregion. In 2022, geomorphic units were produced for the Strait of Georgia and Southern Shelf Bioregions (Proudfoot and Robb, 2022). The results from the PMECS geomorphic units (Rubidge et al. 2016) and the Strait of Georgia and Southern Shelf Bioregion geomorphic units (Proudfoot and Robb, 2022) were combined to produce this dataset to produce a continuous map of geomorphic units for British Columbia. Uncertainty: Although geomorphic units are assumed to have distinctive species assemblages, future work is required to characterize any biological correlations. ReferencesDFO. 2016.
