Clew Bay Marine Habitats

This map shows benthic marine habitats and marine community types in Kilkieran Bay. MBES bathymetry and LiDAR and their derivatives slope, rugosity and variability, were used in a Random Forest model trained using sample data to predict high level EUNIS (version 2022) habitats. The MBES bathymetric and LiDAR data were collected as part of the Irish national seabed mapping programme - INFOMAR.
