Statement

In June 2024, the EMODnet Seabed Habitat Lot converted the dataset (Gonzalez-Irusta and Wright, 2016) to the EMODnet standard format. In this EMODnet format, the map key classifies areas as 'high', 'medium' and 'low' suitability. Values 2, 3, and 4 of the original raster dataset, corresponding to 'rare', 'occasional', and 'recurrent', were assigned value 'low', 'medium', and 'high', respectively. Grid cells with a value of 1 (corresponding to 'unfavourable') were assigned the value noData. The raster dataset was then converted into a polygon dataset. The dataset, originally in the WGS84 Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere projection, was unprojected.
