Algarve:Mapping of marine biocenoses off the National Underwater Ecological Reserve between Gal├® and Barra do Anc├úo - CCMAR-CCDRALG

Description

The Algarve coast presents a significant portion of territory that is part of the designated National Nature Reserve, in its underwater slope (0 to 30m depth - RENSUB), especially when compared with the equivalent on land. The current digital map presents the EUNIS habitat of the central Algarve RENSUB coast. The covered area is between Gal├® and Barra do Anc├úo. The sediment classification was obtained through the interpretation of data from Side Scan Sonar (remote-sensing image), while for the habitat mapping the biological sampling was carried out with beam trawl and underwater visual census.
