Photogrammetric sleigh sampling CIRCALEBA1122

Description

The information contained in this data set is the linear sampling carried out with photogrammetric sleigh during the CIRCA-LEBA-1122 campaign carried out in Spanish Mediterranean waters in November 2022 to characterize the benthic communities of the circalittoral bottoms and sedimentary bathyals in the framework of the Marine Strategies. This is the representation of the spatial distribution of the stations made with this sampler. The area covered by the data provided covers the entire Levantine-Balear Demarcation (LEBA). It is a data set composed of linear elements, where each element represents a skid station. Each object has associated a series of alphanumeric variables such as position in the bottom and turn, date, time, ship speed and depth. The production of this set of geographical information started in 2022. The geographical information collected is stored in a spatial database. This work has been financed thanks to the project ‘Technical Scientific Advice for the Protection of the Marine Environment: Evaluation and Monitoring of Marine Strategies, Monitoring of Protected Marine Areas of State Competence (2018-2024)’. Marine Strategies are the marine environmental planning instrument created under Directive 2008/56/EC (as amended by Directive 2017/845) establishing a framework for Community action in the field of marine environmental policy (Marine Strategy Framework Directive), and have as their main objective the achievement of the Good Environmental Status (GES) of our seas. The 11 Good Environmental Status descriptors form the basis for the description and determination of good environmental status of the marine environment. They are established by the Directive in its Annex I. The marine assessment areas are located within the Marine Reporting Units (MRUs) defined in the framework of the Marine Strategies of Spain.
