GeoSpatial Data

-polygons and polylines

Depth code from Marine Ecological Classification. S = Shallow (0-20m), P = Photic (20-50m), M = Mid-depth (50-200m), D = Deep (200-1000m), A = Abyssal (>1000m)

see StatsCan Administrative Boundaries for polygons

-some BC utilities data is available; contact danielbm@uvic.ca

-very detailed polylines

-can limit by file type
