Clew Bay Marine Habitats

This dataset shows EUNIS marine habitat classes in Clew Bay, located in the west coast of Ireland. The data were acquired in 2001 to aid in the designation of Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) around the coast of Ireland. Data gathered by the National Parks and Wildlife Service. The original classes assigned to the data were translated to the EUNIS habitat classification system as part of the MESH Atlantic project (2010-2013).
