UKSeaMap 2016 - a broad-scale seabed habitat map for the UK
UKSeaMap 2016 has been generated by JNCC and is a by-product of the 2013-2016 activities of the EMODnet Seabed Habitats 2013-2016 consortium. It is a composite of two broad-scale habitat maps, arranged in the following priority order:
1. A roughly 100 m* resolution broad-scale habitat map, which covers the majority of the UK shelf area.
2. EUSeaMap 2016, a coarser resolution** broad-scale habitat map, which covers all European seas (view/download on the EMODnet Seabed Habitats interactive map).
Both of these datasets have been created using identical methods; the only difference is in the resolution of the seabed substrate input data and the source and resolution of the depth data.
Classification systems:
EUNIS habitat classification system, with additional deep sea zones
MSFD predominant habitats
The Marine Habitat Classification for Britain and Ireland
Input data layers:
Seabed substrate type
Depth to the seabed
Amount of light reaching the seabed
Wave disturbance at the seabed
Kinetic energy at the seabed caused by tidal currents and waves
Outputs:
Predictive seabed habitat map
Confidence layers
The map follows the EUNIS 2007-11 classification system where it is appropriate.

Supplemental Information | You can customize the template to suit your needs. You can add and remove fields and fill out default information (e.g. contact details). Fields you can not change in the default view may be accessible in the more comprehensive (and more complex) advanced view. You can even use the XML editor to create custom structures, but they have to be validated by the system, so know what you do :-) |
