This dataset illustrates the estimated potential energy resources available in ocean surface waves (mean annual wave power) within the Canadian Pacific EEZ.
Summary
This dataset illustrates the estimated potential energy resources available in ocean surface waves (mean annual wave power) within the Canadian Pacific EEZ.
The purpose of this dataset is to identify estimated potential energy resources available in ocean surface waves (mean annual wave power) within the Canadian Pacific EEZ for the BCMCA Atlas and Marxan analyses.The British Columbia Marine Conservation Analysis (BCMCA) is a collaborative project assembling and analyzing spatial information about Canada's Pacific Ocean. The overall goal of the BCMCA is to identify marine areas of high conservation value and marine areas important to human use. Results of the project are intended to inform and help advance marine planning initiatives in BC by providing collaborative, peer-reviewed scientific analyses based on the best ecological and human use spatial data at scales relevant to a BC coast-wide analysis.
