The data were obtained during the new survey crarried out in 2011 within the framework of the MeshAtlantic Project. The survey area is an area of moderate energy under the influence of wave action and tidal currents. The northern near shore area is partially exposed to the outfalls of a thermoelectric powerplant. Physical and biological datasets were combined aiming at matching the habitat classes defined in the EUNIS classification.

The data used were: Survey data: grain size data, subtidal benthic macro- and megauna of soft sediments, acoustics remote sensing (AGDS and Sidescan sonnar). Data type: qualitative and quantitative (abundance). Depth interval: 0 to -50m. Data periods: 2011 Geographic area: The coastal area south of Sines (SW Portugal), which is partly included in the Special Protection Area (PTZPE0015) of the Natural Park of Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina. Data sources: Databases generated in the frameworks of the MeshAtlantic project Methods: a) acoustics remote sensing (AGDS and Sidescan sonnar); b) Sampling: Smith_McIntyre grab (0.1 m2); c) Macrofauna abundance data analysis performed in the statistical software PRIMER v6.
