B.C. Wildlife Management Units (reference areas)

Find B.C. Wildlife Management Units (WMUs), the administrative areas used for game management (225 units in nine regions), from the province's Wildlife Management Units layer on DataBC (Open Government Licence - British Columbia), read live. Find a unit by its id (for example 3-12), list a region's units, list a game management zone's units, or find the unit that contains a point (lat, lon). Returns the unit id, region and game management zone. Reference areas only: a unit says nothing about whether hunting is allowed, which seasons are open, or any quota. No geometry.

Cost: 3 units of your allowance (see Rate limits).

Parameters

  • unit (string, optional)
  • region_id (string, optional)
  • game_zone (string, optional): min length 2, max length 60
  • lat (number, optional): min 47.5, max 61
  • lon (number, optional): min -140, max -113
  • limit (integer, optional): min 1, max 100
