Habitat Networks (England) - Coastal Habitats Grouped
Habitat_Networks_England_Coastal_Habitats_Grouped.geojson.zip
This dataset forms part of the Habitat Networks (England) series, published by the Environment Agency, covering coastal habitats grouped at national level. It maps habitat networks using nationally consistent spatial data, built around four habitat component sets: primary habitat (existing patches of a specific habitat, based on the Priority Habitat Inventory), associated habitat forming ecological mosaics with it, areas of known habitat creation or restoration, and restorable habitat identified from degraded or fragmented sites. The maps also define network zones indicating land near existing habitat that may be suitable for habitat re-creation, supporting ecological resilience and habitat connectivity planning in England.This is the record for Coastal Habitats Grouped which forms a part of the Habitat Networks (Individual) (England) dataset (link below). The habitat network maps seek to apply the evidence and principles and to use the available nationally consistent spatial data. The habitat network maps are developed around 4 distinct habitat components sets and include 4 distinct network zones where action may be undertaken to build greater ecological resilience. The different elements of the maps are described below: Habitat Components; • The location of existing patches of a specific habitat for which the network is developed. This is termed the ‘Primary habitat’ e.g. lowland heathland. The main baseline data used for this is the Priority Habitat Inventories (PHIv2.2). • The location of additional habitat that naturally form mosaics with the primary habitat e.g. habitats that are most likely to form ecological mosaics possibly used by species associated with the primary habitat. This is termed the ‘Associated habitat’. The main baseline data used for this is the Priority Habitat Inventories (PHIv2.2). • The locations where habitat creation or restoration is known to occur, this is primarily sites under relevant agri-environment options. This is termed the ‘Habitat creation’ • Sites where data suggests small fragments of the primary habitat or degraded habitat exists and where restoration may be possible, this is primarily developed from information held within the current PHI v2.2. This is termed the ‘Restorable habitat’. Network Zones; • Land within close proximity to the existing habitat components that are more likely to be suitable for habitat re-creation for the particular habitat. These areas are primarily ba.

This API doesn't publish a machine-readable schema (such as an OpenAPI spec) that we can read automatically, so there's no field list to show here. See the documentation for its available endpoints and response formats.
