Georgian Bay Water Quality

135 locations from Killarney to Honey Harbour were surveyed between 2003 and
2005 (3 times a year representing spring, summer and fall conditions) across a
spectrum of environments along the eastern coast of Georgian Bay. The purposes
include to:

  * identify the range of natural variability in water quality conditions in the coastal areas
  * better understand the interactions between the watershed and the open waters of Georgian Bay on water quality
  * provide insight on the human effects on water quality

This information is used to establish a baseline to which future water quality
conditions can be compared and to identify the factor(s) responsible for
variable water quality conditions.

Cervid ecological zones

 Broad management guidance is applied across each Cervid Ecological Zone (CEZ) to help set local population and habitat objectives.

CEZs reflect the overarching cervid management intent at the landscape level. 
The foundation for CEZs is Ontario’s Ecological Land Classification, with consideration given to:

* cervid species ranges
* landscape level variations in habitat and climate 

CEZs build on the existing Wildlife Management Unit network while recognizing that species and habitat ranges fluctuate over time.

Cadastral Location

Often these parcels were surveyed before township surveys in their area. They
may also be supplemental to them (as is the case with some Cadastral Islands).
Sometimes these were laid out after a township survey was done, so some may be
part of a geographic township.

Cadastral Location includes the following:

GTP Block - Timber block used by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway for feeding
steam engines, building bridges, and for supplying railway ties.

Mining Location - A parcel of land whose surveyed boundaries were laid out
during the late nineteenth century for the Crown sale of land for mining
purposes to groups or individuals.

Cadastral Island - Island delineated on survey plans. It may or may not be
part of a geographic township.

Other Location - A parcel of land whose surveyed boundaries were laid out
during the late nineteenth century for the Crown sale of land for various
agricultural or farming purposes to groups or individuals. These locations are
mainly found in Northern Ontario and also exist in the un-surveyed
territories.

Aquatic ecosystem classification for Ontario (AEC)

​The aquatic ecosystem classification (AEC) is a science-based tool that groups and classifies Ontario’s rivers and streams based on their:

* physical attributes, such as water temperature
* watershed characteristics, such as upstream drainage area

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) is responsible for sustainably managing and deriving economic benefit from the fisheries and water resources in the 490,000 km of Ontario’s rivers and streams.

The AEC reduces the complexity of these vast aquatic networks using consistent and quantitative methods to build a standardized data foundation that helps MNRF staff with landscape level planning and policy development.

Analysis of Regional Wood Supply

The Analysis of Regional Wood Supply (ARWoodS) data is updated annually to
incorporate changes to wood supply, projected wood supply use, and planned and
actual harvest levels.

The data is used to identify critical regional and provincial wood supply
issues.

Examples of data:

  * available harvest volume (supply)
  * current and projected wood supply use
  * planned harvest volume
  * historical (actual) wood use

ARWoodS is produced by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF)
as part of the [Provincial Wood Supply Strategy](/document/provincial-wood-
supply-strategy).

Beaches in Ecoregion 6e6 and 7e5

Two classes of beaches are distinguished, those with infrastructure and those
without.

Beaches with infrastructure: open sandy beaches along the shore of a great
lake, within approximately 200 meters of a structure.

Beaches without infrastructure: open sandy beaches along the shore of a great
lake, not within 200 meters of a structure.

The Southern Ontario Land Resource Information System didn't digitize beaches.
Beaches were digitized by Austin Troy from Google Earth.

Bathymetry lines

Bathymetry line data was collected to assess fish habitat in Ontario. Spot
depths (bathymetry points) were used to measure the depth contours, which
function like isobars to show lines of constant depth. Their density and
positional accuracies vary depending on the survey style and parameters. This
data should never be used for navigation.

Bathymetry index

The attribute table included in the dataset provides some limited metadata
information that is specific to each lake. This includes the:

  * survey year
  * survey method
  * original map scale

This dataset should be used for discovery of Bathymetry data. It provides no
bathymetric information, but allows users to discover where bathymetry data
exists and in what format.

Baseline hydrology statistics

The Baseline hydrology statistics (stream flow regime) in the Southwestern
Hudson Bay and Nelson River watershed systems were produced for the Water
Survey of Canada's HYDAT database.

These baseline statistics provide information on the water quantity at each
Water Survey Canada gauge location . They also provide a summary at a primary
watershed scale. This data helps address the previous data gaps in the Far
North region.

Applications include:

  * land use planning
  * integrated watershed management
  * climate change studies
  * hydropower studies

Bait Harvest Area

Bait resources in most of the province are assigned to harvesters through the
use of a block system -- 1 harvester per 'bait harvest' area.

There are exceptions to the block system (e.g., Lake Erie), where bait is
allocated to multiple users fishing the same area.

activities may be carried on, for the protection of the flora and fauna, for
the improvement of the area, having regard to its historical, aesthetic,
scientific or recreational value…"  
They may be embedded in other protected areas. They range in size and have
values from historical to natural heritage but they have no formal class

Ontario Digital Terrain Model (Lidar-Derived)

The Ontario Lidar Digital Terrain Model (DTM) Geospatial Ontario (GEO) Dataset is a raster product representing the bare-earth terrain derived from a classified lidar point cloud. The DTM data is available in the form of 1-km by 1-km non-overlapping tiles grouped into packages for download.

This dataset is a compilation of lidar data from multiple acquisition projects, as such specifications, parameters and sensors may vary by project. 

This data is for geospatial tech specialists, and is used by government, municipalities, conservation authorities and the private sector for land use planning and environmental analysis.

Ontario Digital Surface Model (Lidar-Derived)

The Ontario Digital Surface Model (DSM) (Lidar-Derived) Land Information Ontario dataset is a raster product that provides a representation of both surface and ground features derived from a classified lidar point cloud.

A DSM is the highest reflective surface of features captured by the sensor. This surface is also referred to as the first reflective surface. 

The DSM may include:

* treetops
* rooftops and tops of towers
* telephone poles
* other natural or artificial features
* ground surface if there is no vegetative ground cover 

The DSM data is available in 1 km by 1 km non-overlapping tiles grouped into packages for download. This dataset is a compilation of lidar data from multiple acquisition projects, so specifications, parameters and sensors may vary by project.

Ontario Digital Elevation Model (Imagery-Derived)

The digital elevation models (DEM) are 2 m resolution raster elevation products that were generated from the Ontario Classified Point Cloud (Imagery-Derived) data. 
The point clouds were created via a pixel-autocorrelation process from the stereo aerial photography of the Geospatial Ontario (GEO) imagery program.

The DEM does not represent a full ‘bare-earth’ elevation surface. There are areas where there are very few points classified as ground and interpolation has occurred across the resulting voids. Points classified as ground have not been assessed for accuracy to determine if they represent true ground features. Some features are still raised above ground surface, such as larger buildings, larger forest stands and other raised features. 

This data is for geospatial tech specialists, and is used by government, municipalities, conservation authorities and the private sector for land use planning and environmental analysis.

* small dams
* small water control structures
* beaver dams
* water crossings
* road embankments
* locks
* falls
