Map of seabed habitats and associated communities in the Luiz Saldanha Marine Park (Portugal) according to the EUNIS classification

The map shows the seabed habitat types and associated benthic communities distribution in the Luiz Saldanha Marine Park, a Marine Protected Area in the Natural Park of Arr├íbida (Natura 2000 site), located on the West coast of mainland Portugal. Furthermore, an adjacent zone to the Park, to a depth of 100 m, is included. Physical and biological datasets were combined aiming at matching the habitat classes defined in the EUNIS classification. Literature and survey data were included. The latter were collected in the framework of the LIFE project Biomares with the primary purpose of obtaining information on the seabed habitats across the Park and of former research projects and contracts carried out both in the Park area and adjacent zone by the IPMA (former IPIMAR) team.

Supplemental Information: This product was developed in the framework of the MeshAtlantic project by the IPMA partner. The data used were:

1) Literature data: benthic flora and fauna of subtidal rocky bottoms.

Data type: qualitative and quantitative (biomass).

Data period: 1967-1971.

Depth interval: 0 to -30m.

Geographic area: Parque Marinho Luiz Saldanha, Arr├íbida, West Portugal.

Data source: Saldanha, L., 1974. Estudo do povoamento dos horizontes superiores da rocha litoral da costa da Arr├íbida (Portugal). Arquivos do Museu Bocage, 2┬¬ s├®rie, 5 (1): 1-382.

Method: Assignment of the communities defined by Saldanha (1974) to the EUNIS classes.

2) Survey data: grain size data, subtidal benthic macro- and megauna of soft sediments, acoustics, video footage.

Data type: qualitative and quantitative (abundance).

Depth interval: 0 to -100m.

Data periods: 2000-2001; 2007-2010.

Geographic area: Parque Marinho Luiz Saldanha, Arr├íbida, West Portugal and adjacent areas.

Data sources: Databases generated in the frameworks of (i) a national research Project ÔÇ£Caracteriza├º├úo ecol├│gica dos sistemas estuarinos Tejo e Sado e zona costeira adjacenteÔÇØ, (ii) the LIFE/BIOMARES project ÔÇ£Restoration and Management of Biodiversity in the Marine Park Site Arr├íbida-Espichel (PTCON0010)ÔÇØ and (iii) a contract for the study of the impact of dredging in the Sado estuary and dredged spoil disposal in adjacent areas.

Methods:

a) Sampling: Smith_McIntyre grab (0.1 m2).

b) Macrofauna abundance data analysis performed in the statistical software PRIMER v6.
