HABITATS LIC CANAL DE MENORCA

This dataset contains the habitats map from the SCI (Site of Community Importance) ÔÇ£Canal de MenorcaÔÇØ. The "Menorca Channel" is a marine corridor located between the islands of Mallorca and Menorca in the Balearic Islands archipelago, with a minimum distance between the two islands of 36 kilometers. Its geographical position in the centre of the Western Mediterranean and its location, between islands, gives the area a peculiar set of oceanographic characteristics, including strong currentsand unusually transparent waters. 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 Biodiversity Foundation (www.fundacion-biodiversidad.es). 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). Habitats classification are been simplified owing to the requirements of the EMODnet (European Marine Observation and Data Network ) portal for Seabed Habitats.

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 Canal de Menorca (LIFE+ 07/NAT/E/000732). The study area is situated in the centre of the Western Mediterranean, next to Balearic Islands.
