Data Quality
Initial data on points where organic marine products are farmed or collected (aquaculture, guano) were mapped by Vera De Cauwer as part of the BCLME Physical mapping project. The points were digitised based on information gathered from stakeholders and literature. The data were normalised on a scale of 0-1, and coded to 5' grid cells.
