Description: Comprehensive lists of plant and animal species, with a rarity rank and legal status for each. It has has over 635,000 geo-located records of species occurrences and over 40,000 records of extremely rare to uncommon species in the Atlantic region, including New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, and Labrador. The Atlantic CDC also maintains biological and other types of data in a variety of linked databases. The CDC welcomes inquiries from those who would like to contribute data about plant or animal species at risk or rare communities in Atlantic Canada. Its mission is to assemble and provide objective and understandable data and expertise about species and ecological communities of conservation concern, including those at risk, and undertake field biological inventories to support decision-making, research, and education in Atlantic Canada. The Atlantic CDC develops species location data, known as element occurrence records. Occurrence precision (accuracy) ranges from quite precise (within meters) to less precise (within counties) but most commonly it is within 1 5 km. Element occurrence (EO) refers to one or more locations considered important to the continued existence of a species or ecological community. For species, over 30 types of data: taxonomy, biology, etc. are typically examined when identifying EOs. An EO is generally the habitat occupied by a local population. However, occurrence varies among species and some species have more than one type of occurrence (e.g., breeding and winter occurrences). Breeding colonies, breeding ponds, denning sites, and hibernacula are general examples of different types of animal EOs. For an ecological community, an EO may be the area containing a patch of that community type.
