description: Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) is the federal department responsible for weather, climate,
  water and environmental protection in Canada, and operates the Meteorological Service of Canada. It runs an OGC-standard
  GeoServer at geo.ec.gc.ca which responds correctly to WMS, WFS and OGC API - Features requests but, when probed
  on 2026-08-20, published no layers, no feature types and no collections through it.

  description: 'An OGC-standard GeoServer at geo.ec.gc.ca. Probed anonymously on 2026-08-20: the WMS 1.3.0 GetCapabilities
    request returned HTTP 200 with a valid WMS_Capabilities document titled "ECCC Web Map Service" — but the document
    declares NO published layers, only the root Layer element, and a WFS 2.0.0 GetCapabilities request returned
    no feature types. The service is real and callable; it is not populated on this host. Recorded as presence without
    content rather than as coverage — ECCC''s substantive open geospatial data is distributed through other federal
    surfaces, which are not profiled here yet.'

  description: 'A GeoServer-provided OGC API - Features endpoint on the same host. Probed anonymously on 2026-08-20:
    /collections?f=json returned HTTP 200 with a well-formed OGC API response containing ZERO collections, consistent
    with the unpopulated WMS. The endpoint conforms; there is nothing behind it.'
