Seabed Habitats

Seabed Habitats was initiated in EMODnet Phase I (2009-2013) through the EUSeaMap project. During the current Phase III (2017-2020), Seabed Habitats will extend the work carried out during the preparatory Phases to move from a prototype to an operational service delivering full coverage of a broad-scale map for all European sea-basins, along with the dissemination of maps from surveys.
