Habitat map of the coastal waters of Cyprus in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea

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)
