Purpose

This layer is a spatial representation of diamond mining and salt production. It was created for the BCC Spatial Biodiversity Assessment and Spatial Management, including Marine Protected Areas project.

Language

English

Data Quality

Maps of mining activities generated by Vera De Cauwer as part of the BCLME Physical mapping project was the base data source. The data are treated in a binary manner, where 5' grid cells containing either mining or salt production are coded with a 1, and where these activities are absent, it is coded as 0.
