Shellfish farming areas can have different meanings. Sometimes their identification is prescribed and used for health classification of production areas. In Euroshell project, the choice was made to map the production areas whose identification makes sense for both scientists and professionals. A limited number of areas is then showed, often corresponding to a hydrographic reality. Indeed, the shellfish industry is mainly installed in estuaries, river mouths, bays, fjords, estuaries or lagoons. This map shows the shellfish production sites, which include several areas. Some information is given on species produced, the number of companies and / or concessions and / or producers, the approximate amount of production.

Magnetic data of the ridge axis of Mohn's ridge (NE Atlantic) in order to study the mecanisms of the oceanic accretion.

This backscatter data package is being made available as part of the de-risking study to be carried out in the Gulf of Lion for the award of a "commercial floating wind turbine" call for tenders by 2022. It includes data covering French territorial waters. Raw data have been acquired during oceanographic campaigns: AM-MED-1, BASAR1, BASAR2, BASAR3, CALMAR97, CALMAR99, RHOSOS et STRATAFORM 1.

This bathymetric data package is being made available as part of the de-risking study to be carried out in the Gulf of Lion for the award of a "commercial floating wind turbine" call for tenders by 2022. It includes bathymetric digital models covering French territorial waters. Raw data have been acquired during oceanographic campaigns: AM-MED-1, BASAR2, BASAR3, RHOSOS et STRATAFORM 1.

Distribution of three geomorphologic features (fracture zones, canyons, and seamounts) on the North Atlantic (18°N to 76°N and 36°E to 98°W). Source vector data originated from the GEBCO Gazetteer of Undersea Features Names for fractures, Harris & Whiteway (2011) for canyons, and Yesson et al. (2011) for seamounts. The presence (value=1) of fracture zones or seamounts and the total length of canyons (in km, independently for shelf-incising or blind canyons) was extracted in 25km * 25km gridsquares. This dataset was built to feed a basin-wide spatial conservation planning exercise, targeting the deep sea of the North Atlantic. The goal of this approach was to identify conservation priority areas for Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) and deep fish species, based on the distribution of species and habitats, human activities and current spatial management.

Under the EU Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC), among the biological parameters involved in the assessment of coastal water bodies, the quality element "phytoplankton" is defined. This indicator Phytoplankton is made up of several indexes including a biomass index and an abundance index. Oxygen balance appearing among the elements of physicochemical quality selected for the classification of the ecological state of coastal water bodies. The quality element "benthic invertebrates" is also part of the biological parameters involved in the assessment of these water bodies.
