Beschrijving

The dataset contains the shapefile of marine benthic broad habitats classified according to EUNIS classification for the Brazilian Exclusive Economic Zone region. It was developed using open access databases and GIS operations to develop two intermediate layers: (i) biological zones and (ii) substrate type. Both layers were combined to form the first continuous map of marine habitats for the entire region.

This benthic habitats distribution map was classified according to the European Union Information System (EUNIS) up to level 3 (broad habitat types). It was obtained through the compilation and analysis of key environmental parameters (i.e. depth of euphotic zone, wave mean period, bathymetric terrain model and type of substrate).

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 862428 (MISSION ATLANTIC).
