This dataset contains all geospatial data that show the potential and high confidence mapped extents of Annex I habitat 'Reef' in UK waters, including any additional areas that should be considered reef for management purposes. Annex I reefs occur where rocky areas or concretions made by marine animals arise from the surrounding seafloor.
Areas of protected reef can be viewed on the JNCC MPA Mapper: https://jncc.gov.uk/mpa-mapper
