Ecosystem damage from anthropogenic seabed disturbance: A life cycle impact assessment characterisation model for European Seas
01 Feb 2019
Outcomes: Authors were able to quantify indicators of ecosystem damage from disturbance of the seabed, highlighting areas with the longest estimated ecological recovery time.
How EMODnet Seabed Habitats helped the user: EUNIS classified substrates could be readily transcribed and subcategorized. Additionally, EUSeaMap gave a full coverage of all study sites.

NTNU – Norwegian University of Science and Technology
When was it used: Publication due for release in 2019
What product was used: EUSeaMap 2016
How was the product used: EUSeaMap was used to define the spatial extent of 16 substrate classes within the study area.
