Broadscale habitat (EUNIS level 3) for East of Celtic Deep recommended Marine Conservation Zone (rMCZ)

Updated broadscale habitat map for East of Celtic Deep recommended Marine Conservation Zone (rMCZ), resulting from an analysis of the dedicated survey data. The broadscale habitat ÔÇÿA5.2 Subtidal sandÔÇÖ was the most widespread habitat, occupying roughly two-thirds of the rMCZ site. The sand is shaped into subaqueous dunes in the east and the northwest of the site, but occurs as flat seabed in the central area. ÔÇÿA5.4 Subtidal mixed sedimentsÔÇÖ are found in the east, in the troughs between dunes and on flat areas of seabed. ÔÇÿA5.3 Subtidal mudÔÇÖ is limited to water depths >90 m in the west of the site.

Classification system details: EUNIS habitats and a separate FOCI layer. Survey technique details: Multibeam: Kongsberg EM2040; 0.1m2 mini Hamon grab; Camera sledge.
