NBA2018_Marine Threat Status and Protection Level

This layer includes the threat status and protection level of the Marine Ecosystems 2018 assessed for the National Biodiversity Assessment 2018

Simple

Date (Creation)
Purpose

A revised marine ecosystem classification system and map of the distributions of 150 marine ecosystem types was produced in 2018. Therefore, an update of threat status and protection level was necessary.

APPROPRIATE USE OF THIS DATASET: The Marine Ecosystem Map has been created for national purposes and the boundaries of ecosystem types are mapped at a coarse scale. Therefore, the map may act as a guide to the marine ecosystems in a region but is not appropriate for any work requiring fine scale investigations. Much of the map still requires field verification.
