spec

The marxan formatted species file (e.g. spec.dat). Data was generated using ecological data layers from [Serdynska et al. 2021](https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/2d9cce9a-d634-4b49-879f-87c40c52acf2) will be used in this example. These data are the available bioregional-scale ecological and human use data used to inform draft Marine Protected Area (MPA) design for the Scotian Shelf-Bay of Fundy Bioregion. Please see the [original technical report](https://publications.gc.ca/collections/collection_2021/mpo-dfo/Fs97-6-3382-eng.pdf) for further details. All spatial data has been modified/simplified for demonstration purposes and should not be used for any other purpose.
