Broadscale habitat (EUNIS level 3) for Fulmar recommended Marine Conservation Zone (rMCZ)

Updated habitat map resulting from an intergrated analysis of the EGS 2012 acoustic data and the Cefas Survey of 2012 (Fulmar rMCZ groundtruthing survey onboard the RV Cefas Endeavour between 6 and 10 May 2012, Cruise ID: CEND 8/12). Sediment types at each ground-truthing station were used to inform a semi-automated process of map production using object-based image analysis (OBIA). The Majority of the seabed was classified as "A5.3 Subtidal mud" with smaller areas of "A5.4 Subtidal mixed sediments" Additional information source: Curtis, M., Archer, S., Jenkins, C. 2015.
