Data comprised a regular grid extending into the English Channel, including UK waters. In total, 15 stations were sampled for macrobenthos.

This dataset contains macrobenthos data from the French Sector of the North Sea from 2000. Dataset in the framework of the North Sea Benthos Project, which integrated recent (1999–2002) macrobenthic infaunal and environmental data from various national sources.

French benthic invertebrates composition and abundance taxa data are collected during REBENT monitoring surveys on the English Channel / Bay of Biscay coasts and during RSLFAU monitoring surveys on Mediterranean coast. Protocols are implemented in the Water Framework Directive.

North Sea macrobenthos species density and abundance, measured on a regular grid of stations corresponding with ICES standard stations. All sampling was done in spring 1986.
