The FREMP atlas is an interactive on-line map hosted by the Community Mapping Network (CMN).
The FREMP Atlas contains the following data layers:
• Orthophotos of the FREMP area (2004)
• Habitat Classification (Colour Coding)
• Habitat Inventory of the Fraser River Estuary,
• Other information layers (e.g. watercourses)
(Note that the habitat classifications (colour codes) apply to the area on the wetted side of the dyke, and may not line up correctly with cadastral (property boundary) data. Mismatches between these data layers may be caused by errors in either data set. See the metadata in the Atlas for more details on each data layer.)

Using the Sensitive Habitat Inventory and Mapping atlas, workshop participants are encouraged to map where there is a conservation or enhancement issue for coho salmon and indicate what action could be taken to address the problem. A separate data entry sheet for each challenge or issue must be filled in. Multiple entries will be accepted and are encouraged. Each completed and returned data sheet will be entered into a draw for a Pacific Salmon Foundation limited edition print.

The Cowichan Valley Regional District Habitat Atlas is the most up to date source of fish distribution information for urban and agricultural areas. The Atlas incorporates the federal and provincial government Fisheries Information Summary System information, is built on 1:20,000 topographical
maps and has 2005 colour orthophotography. The Atlas will strengthen the community's awareness and connection to its urban ecology and social resources through locally created maps. The Atlas is a work in progress and needs to be updated and ground truthed.

The new Southern Gulf Islands (SGI) atlas available through the Community
Mapping Network is a web-based mapping tool that brings together a variety of information about the environment, landscape, and cultural aspects of the southern Gulf Islands.
It is an on-going partnership project between Parks Canada, CMN, and CPAWS.
Its main purpose is to foster public awareness of the ecosystems in and
surrounding the the Gulf Islands Nature Park Reserve and to help make
informed decisions that promote the maintenance of ecological integrity on
park lands while at the same time allowing for public enjoyment and
education opportunities.
You can view information related to distribution and types of ecosystems,
biological communities, parks and protected areas, topography of the
region, and many more aspects. You can now view 18 hours of shoreline video
(with audio commentary) and 4000 still images. Using a high speed
connection with internet explorer you can watch the video while tracking
your position on a map of the shoreline. With time, many more thematic
layers will become available. The atlas has an easy, intuitive user
interface and provides tools for carrying out basic operations on the data
such as, zoom, select, buffer generation, measuring distances, bookmarking,
redlining, and printing.
The contents of the atlas can assist researchers in creating a profile of
the myriad of ecosystems within the park at many scales. It can be used in
the development of communications and interpretive products, provide the
building blocks for management planning, and paint a portrait of the human
presence on the islands over time.
