Collated Zostera habitat boundaries for Wales
A collation of all mapped Zostera habitats in Wales. This is a collation of Zostera habitats mapped by Intertidal Monitoring Contracts, Fisheries Sensitivity maps as well as point sources derived from casework site visits, CCW's data holdings in Marine Recorder and EAW WFD Monitoring Results.
Zostera beds are an OSPAR Habitat, BAP Habitat and a sub-feature of Annex 1 habitat, mudflats and sandflats, large shallow inlets and bays, estuaries and sandbanks.

| Statement |
The source data was recorded using Intertidal Phase 1 methodology, where the habitats were mapped using GIS against either OS maps or Aerial photographs. Extents mapped recorded during monitoring or casework were either created from GPS tracks or by digitising around waypoints taken in the field. Areas collated for the Fisheries sensitivity maps were created by digitising around known data points using background maps or aerial photographs. Additional beds were digitised from aerial photos.
Boundaries digitised to 1:10,000 or 1:50, 000 base maps
