This interactive map contains a broadscale predicted seabed habitat map for the UK continental shelf and the data used in the modelling process.
Building on the modelling work of the INTERREG IIIB-funded
MESH project and
UKSeaMap 2006, UKSeaMap 2010 has produced a new seabed habitat map using improved input physical data layers to predict benthic habitats under the
EUNIS classification.
The UKSeaMap 2010 report and technical appendices can be downloaded through the
UKSeaMap home page.
UKSeaMap 2010 is funded through funds which remained after UKSeaMap 2006, originally contributed by a consortium of
partners.
