Habitat LIC Sistema de Ca├▒ones Submarinos de Avil├®s

This dataset contains the habitats map from the SCI (Site of Community Importance) ÔÇ£Sistema de ca├▒ones submarinos de Avil├®sÔÇØ (Avil├®s Canyon System). The Avil├®s Canyon system is located in the eastern sector of the North Atlantic Ocean, on the continental margin to the north of the Iberian Peninsula. It is structurally a highly complex area, where the continental shelf in the Bay of Biscay is deeply affected by the action of tectonic compression, containing important geomorphological elements; these include: three great submarine canyons, a marginal platform and a tall structural rocky mass. This study was supported by the INDEMARES-LIFE+ Project, EC contract INDEMARES-LIFE+ (07/NAT/E/000732): Inventory and Designation of the Natura 2000 network in marine areas of the Spanish State (www.indemares.es/en). This work was coordinated by the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO, www.ieo.es) and the Biodiversity Foundation (www.fundacion-biodiversidad.es). The interpretation has been made possible thanks to direct and indirect samplings and geophysical data from campaigns INDEMARES (AVILES_0710, AVILES_0410, AVILES_0412-0912). Habitats are classified according to EUNIS nomenclature and the List of Marine Habitats in Spain (LPRE, that itÔÇÖs classified hierarchically and was completed and published in March 2013).

Presentation form: Digital map

Purpose: Marine habitats research and seabed habitats distribution mapping for Marine Natura 2000 Network areas declaration. It was performed with geophysical data and direct and indirect samplings obtained in the Project INDEMARES ÔÇ£Sistema de Ca├▒ones Submarinos de Avil├®sÔÇØ (LIFE+ 07/NAT/E/000732). The study area is situated in the north-east Atlantic Ocean (north of the Iberian Peninsula). We would like to thank the captains and all the crews of R/V Vizconde de Eza, R/V Thalassa, R/V Ram├│n Margalef y R/V Angeles Alvari├▒o.
