The map consists of cells measuring 100x100 meters and provides the distribution of important marine habitats of conservation importance, such as Posidonia oceanica meadows (Habitats 1120), Cymodocea nodosa meadows (Habitats 1110), and reefs (Habitats 1170), in the coastal waters of Cyprus under the European Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC). The source of the data is the Department of Fisheries and Marine Research (DFMR), within the projects 'Mapping and evaluation of Posidonia meadows and other important marine habitats under the European Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC)’ (0-50 m, data created 09/2022 at 1:10000 scale), ‘Cyprus shelf seabed mapping’ (50-250 m, data created 04/2019 at 1:20000 scale) and ‘Mapping coralligenous formations and maerl beds using mb data’ (50-250 m, data created 10/2023 at 1:20000 scale)

The map shows the distribution of nursery areas in the Italian seas in autumn of Aristeus antennatus. Species data, collected during national trawl survey campains in the period 1994-1996, were elaborated using spatial analysis. The distribution maps were included on a CDROM in their native GIS format and also in PDF format.

Fluid emissions of volcanic and non volcanic origin and mud-volcanoes on seafloors, mapped by various national and regional mapping projects and recovered in the literature. Polygons represent areas larger than 10 hectares. Note: blank areas do not necessarily correspond to no occurrence.

Submarine volcanic structures and eruption centers including hydrothermal activity, mapped by various national and regional mapping projects and recovered in the literature (points, lines and polygons). Locally polygons are extended on land to include the emerged portions of the volcanoes. Polygons represent areas larger than 10 hectares. Note: blank areas do not necessarily correspond to no occurrence.

Submarine volcanoes, mapped by various national and regional mapping projects and recovered in the literature. Lines refer to eruptive fissures or borders of lava flows. Note: blank areas do not necessarily correspond to no occurrence.

Submarine mud-volcanoes and fluid emissions of non volcanic origin, mapped by various national and regional mapping projects and recovered in the literature. Points represent areas smaller than 60 hectares. (for larger areas, see fluid emissions polygons layer) Note: blank areas do not necessarily correspond to no occurrence.

Fluid emissions of volcanic and non volcanic origin and mud-volcanoes on seafloors, mapped by various national and regional mapping projects and recovered in the literature. Polygons represent areas larger than 10 hectares. (for smaller areas, see fluid emissions points layer) Note: blank areas do not necessarily correspond to no occurrence.

Fluid emissions of non volcanic origin and mud-volcanoes on seafloors, mapped by various national and regional mapping projects and recovered in the literature. Points represent areas smaller than 10 hectares. (for larger areas, see fluid emissions polygons layer) Note: blank areas do not necessarily correspond to no occurrence.

Submarine landslides scarps, detectable on the seabed, mapped by various national and regional mapping projects and recovered in the literature. Note: blank areas do not necessarily correspond to no occurrence.

Submarine landslides, detected on the seabed, outcropping or buried, mapped by various national and regional mapping projects and recovered in the literature. Points represent landslide areas smaller than 10 hectares. (for larger areas, see submarine landslides polygons layer) Note: blank areas do not necessarily correspond to no occurrence.
