Description#
The EMODnet broad-scale seabed habitat map for Europe (EUSeaMap) is a comprehensive, free and ready-to-use broad-scale map of physical habitats, harmonising mapping procedures and fostering a common understanding among seabed mappers in Europe. The map was produced using a “top-down” modelling approach using classified habitat descriptors, including biological zone, energy class, oxygen regime, salinity regime, seabed substrate, and riverine input. The most recent version is EUSeaMap 2023. EMODnet data can be viewed, browsed, subsetted and downloaded using EMODnet’’s Map Viewer.
