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.

Data were collected in the framework for the stablishment of the Capo Milazzo AMP. The study was founded by MATTM. The map was constructed by using acustic data, direct observations by ROV and satellite images.

Data holdings of individual essential fish habitat maps in European waters. Data are collated by EMODnet Seabed Habitats partners from a variety of source datasets and conformed and standardised into the portal's INSPIRE-compliant schema (for more information, please see https://www.emodnet-seabedhabitats.eu/contribute-data/essential-fish-habitat-map-submission-process/) . Ownership of the individual maps is retained by the original owners, for more information please see the individual metadata record tied to the map, which can be seen in the query response. Maps are available individually through EMODnet Seabed Habitats' "maplibrary" OGC service endpoints: For WMS (view) access to maps, please use https://ows.emodnet-seabedhabitats.eu/geoserver/emodnet_view_maplibrary/wms For WFS (download) access to open vector maps, please use https://ows.emodnet-seabedhabitats.eu/geoserver/emodnet_open_maplibrary/wfs For WCS (download) access to open raster maps, please use https://ows.emodnet-seabedhabitats.eu/geoserver/emodnet_open_maplibrary/wcs
