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.

The project had the aim to map intertidal and subtidal habitats at the Sore Sunnmore area on the West coast of Norway. We collected data points in the intertidal and in the seaweed, kelp and red algae bed in the subtidal. These data were used to model the distribution of different habitats. Habitat data was analysed (using the R package mlogit for Multinomial Logit Models, CRAN - Package mlogit (r-project.org)) against modelled depth, seabed light, salinity, temperature and wave exposure. 30 habitats were modelled, which again was transformed into composite maps, identifying the most dominant habitat/species.

The aim of the National Program for Mapping Biodiversity – Coast is to provide Norwegian managers and planners with maps of the distribution of marine habitats and key areas for species. Carbonate sand is composed of skeletal fragments from marine organisms, mostly shells, snails, barnacles, sea urchins and calcareous algae, accumulating during the past 10 000 years. Carbonate sand deposits with ongoing production and accumulation were identified through distribution modelling (using statistical methods such as GAM, BRT, Maxent) based on presence–absence data of carbonate sand deposits from grab samples (collected by the Geological Survey of Norway). Depth, wave exposure and ocean current speed were the most important predictors. Polygon areas were derived from the model according to the routine established in the Norwegian National Program for Mapping Biodiversity – Coast.
