About this dataset
Visualization Tool: This web app was created for the Howe Sound Cumulative Effects Pilot Project. It includes layers estimating the condition of Marbled Murrelet population sustainability in the Howe Sound area based upon two key nesting habitat indicators. It also includes supplemental information maps to help with the interpretation of these assessments. All of these layers were last updated in 2016/2017. Description: The original story map journal was published in January 2019 but was updated to Storymaps in November 2025. It features layers representing the Howe Sound Cumulative Effects Project area in British Columbia: the condition of the Marbled Murrelet nesting habitat (risk of exceeding nesting habitat depletion thresholds, nesting habitat depletion trend); two key Marbled Murrelet nesting habitat indicators (suitable and modeled nesting habitat, and suitable and modeled nesting habitat protected); and supplemental environmental information.
