The Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre provides objective data and expertise about species and ecological communities of conservation concern, including species at risk, and undertakes field biological inventories to support conservation related decision-making, research and education in Atlantic Canada.

We receive direction from a Board of Directors and financial support from them, other Members, government funds, foundation grants, and corporate contributions. If you would like to support the CDC's conservation science efforts financially, please contact Dr. R.A. Lautenschlager.

User Direction

This site provides general information about species and ecological communities of conservation concern, including those at risk. Those unfamiliar with the CDC's approach may want to review the information presented in "About Our Data" before proceeding to "Data Products". "Data Products" provides specific information about species and communities.

The best conservation related answers come from combining data, expertise, and field-study. To ensure that data are interpreted correctly, you should contact our data managers and staff specialists. You will, however, be charged for the time required to complete most data requests. Emailed requests, for the Maritimes, should be sent to Stefen Gerriets, while those for Newfoundland and Labrador should be sent to Meherzad Romer. To avoid confusion, requests should have "ACCDC DATA REQUEST (place, province)" as the subject line. (See Data Products for more information.)
