HabitatsCeltNorth_MNCR (HabitatsCeltNorth_MNCR)

This layer is a predictive EUNIS seabed habitat map for the North Sea and Celtic Sea. The layer has been created using three pre-processed input datasets: substrate, biological zone and energy. The map follows the EUNIS 2007-11 classification system, and is displayed using the most detailed classifications predicted by the model. The EUNIS classification has been supplemented by additional categories in deep sea areas. The model includes the sublittoral zone only; due to the high variability of the littoral zone, a lack of detailed substrate data and the resolution of the model, it is difficult to predict littoral habitats at this scale. Information contained here has been derived from data that is made available under the European Marine Observation Data Network (EMODnet) Seabed Habitats project (www.emodnet-seabedhabitats.eu), funded by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE).

EUSeaMap 2016 Broadscale predictive habitat map - simplified to 800m (EUSM2016_simplified800)

This layer is a predictive EUNIS seabed habitat map for European Seas, produced in 2016 as part of the 'EUSeaMap2' deliverables by EMODnet Seabed Habitats. The layer has been created using classified habitat descriptors to determine the final habitat. The map follows the EUNIS 2007-11 classification system where applicable, and is displayed using the most detailed classifications predicted by the model.The EUNIS classification has been supplemented by additional habitats where no appropriate EUNIS habitat exists or where data are lacking. The model includes the sublittoral zone only; due to the high variability of the littoral zone, a lack of detailed substrate data and the resolution of the model, it is difficult to predict littoral habitats at this scale. These data have been integrated by 200m tolerance to increase drawing speeds at very small scales.
