Description:

Abstract:

Anecdotal Information derived from interviews with DFO regional staff. Georeferenced to the TRIM coastline.

Purpose:

Some examples of the business needs for this information include: -Habitat referrals for foreshore leases and licences; -Oil spill contingency planning and response; -Community shoreline planning and zoning; -Provincial coastal planning; -Provincial and Federal Marine Protected Area analysis; -Fisheries research which looks for correlation of marine resources with habitat.

Supplemental_Information: Routes taken by adult salmon when returning to rivers to spawn

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

This information is anecdotal in nature but was collectd from DFO staff members who were at the time the most knowledgeable about salmon migration routes in their region.

Completeness_Report:

This information only includes personal knowledge of the DFO staff members interviewed. There is more detail for fjord and inshore areas where salmon are closer to the source rivers. In most areas the species and natal river are indicated.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

The data area based on anecdotal information collected from regional DFO staff. The scale at which each record is mapped is indicated for each entity in the database and is linked to the scale of chart used to map it and the precision to which the person interviewed was able to indicate the vector positions.

Quantitative_Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Assessment:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Value: variable

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Explanation: indicated for each entity in the database
