OSPAR Habitats in the North-East Atlantic Ocean - 2022 Polygon records

This is a compilation of OSPAR habitat polygon data for the northeast Atlantic submitted by OSPAR contracting parties. The compilation is coordinated by the UK's Joint Nature Conservation Committee, working with a representative from each of the OSPAR coastal contracting parties.This public dataset does not contain records relating to sensitive species (e.g. Ostrea edulis) in specific areas, or where data are restricted from public release by the owner's use limitations.



The original version (v2022) was published in September 2023. The current version (v2022.1) was published in March 2024 - changes made involved removing duplicate records.
