Macroalgal canopy cover (Essential Ocean Variable) in Europe - points and polygons (2023)
This layer shows the current known extent and distribution of macroalgal canopy in European waters, collated by EMODnet Seabed Habitats. The points were added in Sept 2021, and both the points and polygons were updated in 2023. The purpose was to produce a data product that would provide the best compilation of evidence for the essential ocean variable (EOV) known as Macroalgal canopy cover and composition (sub-variable: Areal extent), as defined by the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS). Kelp and fucoid brown algae are the dominant species that comprise macroalgal forests. This data product should be considered a work in progress and is not an official product.

Lineage
Statement | The polygon file was produced by the 2017-2019 EMODnet Seabed Habitats consortium and the method is described in O'Keefe and Lillis (2019). The point file was produced by the 2019-2021 EMODnet Seabed Habitats consortium and the method is described in Lillis (2021). The polygons and points layers were last updated in 2023 using data extracted from the EMODnet Seabed Habitat database (May 2023). |
