Modelled occurrence probability for Maerl habitats across the Mediterranean Sea
Published by Region of Crete
This dataset provides modelled spatial distributions of coralligenous outcrops and maerl beds across the Mediterranean Sea, accessed via a WMS service published by the Region of Crete. These bioconstructions are characteristic Mediterranean underwater habitats formed by coralline algal frameworks that develop under low-light conditions. The layer estimates the probability of occurrence of these habitats based on modelling, supporting marine habitat mapping, conservation planning, and environmental assessment. It forms part of broader EMODnet-related seabed habitat data covering the Mediterranean region.”This dataset shows modelled spatial distributions of coralligenous outcrops and mäerl beds across the Mediterranean Sea. These bioconstructions are typical Mediterranean underwater seascapes, comprising coralline algal frameworks that grow in dim light conditions. They are the result of the build...
