General study area INTEMARES Marine area around Iles Columbretes (LICESZZ16010 and LIC ESZZ16004)

Description

The information contained in this data set constitutes the area where the study and work of the INTEMARES Project for the "Marine Area of the Iles Columbretes Environment" (LIC ESZZ16010 and LIC ESZZ16004) are concentrated. It therefore coincides with the spatial representation of the Sites of Community Importance (SCIs) surrounding the archipelago of the Columbretes Islands (SCI ESZZ16010 and SCI ESZZ16004). It is also the target area of the INTEMARES-COLCARTO campaigns carried out in February 2020 and February 2021. The area comprising the data provided covers an area of approximately 136 km2 which lies approximately between 0o36' and 0o44' East and 39o48' and 39o56' North in the Western Mediterranean. This is a dataset composed of a single polygonal element representing the two target SCIs of the study. The object has associated a series of alphanumeric variables such as the name of the study area, the organism, the area in m2, the maximum and minimum depths, and, finally, a description and observations of the layer. The delimitation of this space and the elaboration of this set of geographical information corresponds to the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITERD). The geographical information collected is stored in a spatial database. The INTEMARES campaigns carried out within this area have been financed thanks to the LIFE IP INTEMARES Project (LIFE-IP INTEMARES - Integrated, Innovative and Participatory Management for N2000 network in the Marine Environment - LIFE15 IPE/ES/000012). This integrated project has the challenge of laying the foundations to effectively manage the marine areas of the Natura 2000 Network and complete the work and progress promoted within the framework of the LIFE + INDEMARES project, which managed to take a great step in terms of declaring new areas.
