INT_SCA_MUE_DUR_11_22_IEO

Description

The information contained in this data set is the distribution of the mean sampling points by means of image used in the habitat characterization study carried out in the scope of the INTEMARES project (LIFE15 IPE ES 012) by the team working in the COST-SANTANDER (CSIC). This is the representation of the spatial distribution of the midpoints of the transects taken with visual methods in the Avilés Underwater Cannon System. The area comprising the data provided covers the SCA SCI, with a cartographic area of about 3,390.26 km2 whose longitudinal limits are approximately 5o35' WEST - 6o40 WEST, while the latitudinal limits are approximately 43o40' N, and 44o 05', its seabed, the waters of the canyon system comprising the Avilés canyon, the Corbiro canyon and the Gaviera canyon, its tributaries, the continental shelf and the upper slope. This set of information is structured based on the average positions of the samples made with photogrammetric sleds and ROVs in campaigns with codes: A0410, A0710, A0511, A0412, A0912, N10, N11, IA418, S0617, E0717, IC222, carried out in the INDEMARES and INTEMARES projects. It is a data set composed of point-type vector elements, where each element represents the midpoint of each sampling.Each object is associated with a series of alphanumeric variables, which associate the point to the campaign in which they were obtained, the type of sampler used etc. The production of this set of geographical information started in 2021, thanks to different oceanographic campaigns listed in the relevant report: Report on the characterisation, mapping and conservation status of the benthic habitats of the SCI- ESZZ12003 ‘Sistema de Cañones Submarinos de Avilés’ (North Atlantic Marine Demarcation). The geographical information collected is stored in a spatial database. These works 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.
