EUSeaMap (2019) Broad-Scale Predictive Habitat Map - Confidence in Biological Zones

Confidence in the 2019 EUSeaMap Biological Zone layer, produced by EMODnet Seabed Habitats for the 2019 EUSeaMap broad-scale predictive habitat maps.

Values are on a range from 1 (Low confidence) to 3 (High confidence).

Confidence in Biological Zone are driven by the confidence in the source data used to determine the descriptor, and the confidence in the threshold/margin between classes (areas closer to a boundary between two classes will have lower confidence).

Confidence values are also available for the input data layers used to model Biological Zone.
