This file shows the distribution of low level EUNIS habitats in Blacksod Bay, Co Mayo, off the north west coast of Ireland. The map was generated from the interpretation of MBES and LiDAR data and groundtruthed using sediment samples.

Statement
Substrate classes were generated from the analysis of MBES data collected as part of the INFOMAR national seabed mapping programme. Rock outcrops were digitised from shaded relief imagery. Supervised classification of the acoustic classes identified from backscatter imagery into sediment classes were done using sediment samples collated from the aforementioned seabed mapping programmes and fisheries surveys together with information on sediments obtained from Admiralty Charts. The substrate classes identified were translated to the EUNIS habitat classification system using additional information about biological zones (derived from bathymetric contours).
