Mapping of marine biocenoses off the National Underwater Ecological Reserve between Faro and Ponta da Piedade - CCMAR-CCDRALG
The Algarve coast presents a significant portion of territory that is part of the designated National Nature Reserve, in its underwater slope (0 to 30m depth - RENSUB), especially when compared with the equivalent on land. The current digital map presents the EUNIS habitat of the central Algarve RENSUB coast. The covered area is between Ponta Piedade and Barra do Ancão. The sediment classification was obtained through the interpretation of data from Side Scan Sonar (remote-sensing image), while for the habitat mapping the biological sampling was carried out with beam trawl and underwater visual census.
