UKSeaMap 2018V2 is a broad-scale physical habitat map for UK waters. It is a by-product of the 2013-2016 activities of the EMODnet Seabed Habitats 2013-2016 consortium. This dataset contains two products: a roughly 100 m* resolution broad-scale predictive seabed habitat map in geodatabase format, and a set of confidence maps in GeoTIFF format. The data has been clipped to cover the current extent of the UK continental shelf. * 3 arc second = 93 m latitudinally by between 44 m (north) and 53 m (south) longitudinally Classification system: • EUNIS habitat classification system (http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/page-3365), with additional deep sea zones • MSFD Benthic Broad Habitat Types • The Marine Habitat Classification for Britain and Ireland (http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/page-1584) Input data layers: • Seabed substrate type • Depth to the seabed • Amount of light reaching the seabed • Wave disturbance at the seabed • Kinetic energy at the seabed caused by tidal currents and waves Layer file for symbology.

This layer covers the English Channel sector and has been reworked as part of the FISH INTEL Interreg EU Channel project (https://fishintel.ifremer.fr/) to produce a map of ecosystem services and marine habitats in the Channel. These data are part of the catalogue ''FISH INTEL - Fisheries Innovation for sustainable INTerchannEL resources''.
