Includes bibliographical references (pages 32-33). "This report documents the GIS database assembled for the littoral habitat areas of Severn Sound, Georgian Bay, and describes the methods used to devise a fish habitat classification model for those littoral areas. Development of the classification model was undertaken to provide the implementers of the Remedial Action Plan in Severn Sound with a scientifically defensible update for their interim fish habitat management plan. The interim plan was prepared as a guidance document for local and regional planning authorities to promote increased regard for fish habitat and the legislated responsibilities where proposed developments impinge on littoral habitat. In that plan, a group of local fish habitat experts had classified shoreline lengths into one of three classes, Red, Yellow or Green. The different colours signaled different levels of importance of littoral areas as fish habitat and the lists of allowable and excluded activities were linked to the colour-codes. … The complete GIS database including full implementation of the classification model are available on an enclosed CD-ROM. The limitations of the source data and the classification model are assessed and future steps required for iterative improvement are identified"--Abstract, page iii.
