Distribution of benthic invertebrate species in Atlantic based on cumulative and interpolated relative abundance density data from fisheries surveys EVHOE (2008-2013), LANGOLF (2011-2013), NURSE (2000-2013), ORHAGO (2011-2015)

Map of benthic habitat synthesis of the Natura 2000 site FR5300015 - Bay of Morlaix is the result of the fusion and harmonization of five cartographic data. They were generated according to mapping strategies, interpretation scales and on the basis of different cartographic supports.

The data is provided as a layer of points representing submersible dives in the French Mediterranean.

Cold-water coral habitat mapping in submarine canyons of the bay of Biscay was realized by the deep sea laboratory of Ifremer. Data came from the EVHOE 2012 cruise in the framework of the CoralFish project and as part of an agreement between Ifremer and the Agence des Aires Marines Protégées. The method was based on image analyses. Images were acquired using the towed camera « SCAMPI » during the EVHOE 2012 cruise (from 18/10/2012 to 02/12/2012, chief scientists: Jean-Pierre LEAUTE and Michèle SALAUN). Observed habitats were defined according to the CoralFish typology (J.S. Davies, B. Guillaumont, F. Tempera, A. Vertino, L. Beuck, S.H. Ólafsdóttir, C.J. Smith, J.H. Fosså, I.M.J. van den Beld, A.

Seasonal spatial distribution of gray seals (Halichoerus grypus) on their haul out sites identified by the associations ADN and Picardy Nature in the Authie Bay from 2007 to 2009 inclusive.

Seasonal spatial distribution of gray seals (Halichoerus grypus) on their haul out sites identified by the ONCFS on the rocks of Portsall in 2010.
