Habitat Map for Murlough Special Area of Conservation and Offshore, Northern Ireland
A biotope analysis of Dundrum bay was conducted in 2015 as part of efforts to understand the distribution and extent of benthic habitats and associated marine life within the Murlough special area of conservation incorporating new and historical groundtruthing information alongside modern acoustic data.
The map was originally presented in the Marine Habitat Classification for Britain & Ireland ( http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/MarineHabitatClassification). This has been translated to the EUNIS habitat classification system for integration with other European datasets.
For more information, see: AFBI, 2015. Bathymetric and Habitat Map for Murlough Special Area of Conservation and offshore, Northern Ireland. Report to the Department of the Environment.

The correspondence between the mapped dominant biotope complexes and the ground-truthing biotope complex records, known as ÔÇÿaccuracy assessmentÔÇÖ, was completed through extraction of co-located records in ArcGIS, and percentage agreement between biotope complexes calculated in Excel. This analysis gave the following results:
a) Agreement of 65% for internal accuracy (match between mapped polygons are video segment biotopes)
b) Agreement of 22% for external accuracy of actual biotope complexes (regardless though of infralittoral or circalittoral splitting) with diver records (single points)
c) Agreement of 65% for external accuracy if broad categories are considered (rock, mixed substratum, muddy sand)
The assessment of confidence in the final habitat maps was undertaken following the MESH confidence assessment methodology, and the following scores in Table 3.3 were derived for Dundrum Bay. This included an assessment of the remote sensing (multibeam) data, the groundtruthing data, the ground-truthing interpretation and the map accuracy. Together, these were combined in the confidence tool macro to give an overall score of 90.
