EUNIS level 3 habitat map for Wight-Barfleur Reef SCI

Abstract

EUNIS level 3 habitat map for Wight-Barfleur Reef SCI (CEND 03/13). The new evidence on the distribution of habitats derived from terrain analysis and interpretation of sidescan sonar data was used to update the existing EUNIS habitat map of the Wight-Barfleur Reef cSAC and surroundings (Diesing et al., 2009). The interpretation of acoustic and video data points to a highly complex seabed habitat, made up of a mosaic of bedrock reef, stony reef, coarse sediment and, in places, sand. Diesing M, Coggan R, Vanstaen K (2009). Widespread rocky reef occurrence in the central English Channel and the implications for predictive habitat mapping.
