In these presets
Habitats
BC species and ecosystem screening. Read original observation dates, proposed/final status and quality. Generalised areas require further enquiries; empty public mapping does not prove absence.
Water
BC freshwater, fish, groundwater and historical flood context. Inventories do not establish current fish absence, stream banks or statutory setbacks. Historical flood studies are not comprehensive current hazard mapping.
