Abstract
The possibility of future oil exploration in Dixon Entrance, Hecate Strait, and Queen Charlotte Sound is now under review. A decision to proceed with oil exploration in northern coastal British Columbia will require detailed information on resources for use in coastal zone planning and in preparing oil spill contingency plans. This report describes the digital mapping and linked data base system developed. The system contains data on coastal geomorphology and processes; biological resources; resource harvesting; areas of special cultural, historical, archaeological, aesthetic, recreational and scientific significance; and sociopolitical features and coastal facilities. Information was compiled between September 1984 and January 1986 from such existing sources as technical reports, aerial photographs and videotapes, maps, unpublished data, data archives, fisheries data, government departments, museums, and individuals who were interviewed on non-commercial resource harvesting and areas of special significance.
