Summary

UKSeaMap 2018V2 is a broad-scale physical habitat map for UK waters. It is a by-product of the 2013-2016 activities of the EMODnet Seabed Habitats 2013–2016 consortium. This dataset contains two products: a roughly 100 m* resolution broad-scale predictive seabed habitat map in geodatabase format, and a set of confidence maps in GeoTIFF format. The data has been clipped to cover the current extent of the UK continental shelf.

*3 arc second = 93 m latitudinally by between 44 m (north) and 53 m (south) longitudinally

Classification system:

  • EUNIS habitat classification system, with additional deep sea zones
  • MSFD Benthic Broad Habitat Types
  • The Marine Habitat Classification for Britain and Ireland (https://mhc.jncc.gov.uk/)

Input data layers:

  • Seabed substrate type
  • Depth to the seabed
  • Amount of light reaching the seabed
  • Wave disturbance at the seabed
  • Kinetic energy at the seabed caused by tidal currents and waves
