nice! Feels like a new language or framework pops up each day now.
This is built on react for front end and node for back end. One of my favourites.

I've added all fishing areas between campbell river and victoria. Working on adding some ability to hover and get the zone highlighted then eventually display a simpler version of the regs.
Waveheights for JDF and victoria area are on their way. Just running the model through a few years of data.

My screenshot! That makes me like a 10% owner of this app right?
The shot seems to how the wave height is measured crest to trough. And I think it's.an average.

Great App jCon 12. Can't keep my eyes off it. Every time I open it up it seems like you have added something new. I now see all the RCA's noted, don't believe that they were all there last week. Will tides and currents be added also? If not that's ok, what you have already is great. Thank you. Will make preparing to cross the strait less stressful.

@P999mm yep tides for sure as thats relatively easy. Hopefully get that setup shortly and can show you the closest to your location and let you search.
The RCA and sponge reefs have been added for areas 16, 17, 18, 29 and 28.. it is 100% manual and you have to convert all coordinates so its a bit of a slow build in the evenings
Appreciate the feedback.

I wonder if a DFO enquiry to the right person would land you the digital files for all these layers, or at least point you to the appropriate map server so you could just dynamically serve the appropriate layers if you are able to do that?@P999mm yep tides for sure as thats relatively easy.

I think they should just pay him to make their crap better LOL. Or the FishingBC app should pay him to add this to their app.

I do not believe DFO, at least in BC, have the required tech for map services yet. You’d have to contact Wilf Luedke for possible data but that may not work for your app. I could help you with that tho.

I contacted the gov earlier this week asking for data but was just pointed to the public pages which (kind of) list the coordinates. Since so many of the zones run along the shoreline I don't think they actually have the coordinates stored anywhere and have only drawn them over top a map (like stencilling).
Part of what makes me think this hasn't been done.. it is incredibly manual. You can see on the fishingBC app they don't follow the shoreline perfectly so someone has likely plotted the fishing areas by hand grabbing each coordinate manually.

Great app! When do you think you will have this app ready to download via the Apple app store?
Great job jcon! There more info on waves, wind and sea state available through the ONC portal and may be of interest for everyone at:

Being in the mapping and GIS business, it has always astounded me how poor the DFO maps are and how haphazardly organised the regs are. It would be relatively easy for them to set up a geospatial data server with all the regs and management zones, closure areas etc for finfish and shellfish in one easy spot for fishers to access. The fishing BC app has helped a lot in that regard, but there is definitely room for improvement. DFO does have meets and bounds descriptions for all the areas and those are easy to punch into a GIS and have it draw the outline in a spatial coordinate system which I am assuming is what you are doing. But as you say it all takes time.
as far as openings/closings - if you know the DFO Area of interest you can access those data through:
DFO Area maps at:
www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca
Meets and bounds at:
DFO Area maps at:
Pacific Fisheries Management Area maps | Pacific Region | Fisheries and Oceans Canada

the most cumbersome part of mapping any/all of this is the actual shoreline coordinates which the dfo do not list.
