Broadscale habitat (EUNIS level 3) for South of Portland (rMCZ)
Description
Updated habitat map resulting from an intergrated analysis of the acoustic and ground truth survey data in 2014 (onboard the RV Cefas Endeavour). Broadscale habitats at each ground truth station were used to inform a semi-automated mapping process using object-based image analysis (OBIA). The majority of the seabed was classified as the BSH 'A4.1 High energy circalittoral rock/A4.2 Moderate energy circalittoral rock', with a with a large sediment bank in the north of the rMCZ made up of the BSHs 'A5.1 Subtidal coarse sediment' and 'A5.2 Subtidal sand'.
