The Species at Risk (SAR) Program is responsible for carrying out Fisheries and Oceans Canada's (DFO) mandate under the Species at Risk Act (SARA) to protect, recover and conserve all listed aquatic SAR in Canada. As part of this mandate, this spatial database has been developed to identify areas in which aquatic species listed under SARA may be found.
Distribution and range information are identified for species listed as Extirpated, Endangered, Threatened or Special Concern under SARA. |
