Biodiversity of European macrobenthos by EUNIS seabed habitat typesCitation Webb, T.J. (2025). Seabed habitat and macrobenthos occurrences in European seas. Integrated data products created under the European Marine Observation Data Network (EMODnet) Biology project CINEA/EMFAF/2022/3.5.2/SI2.895681, funded by the European Union under Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund. https://marineinfo.org/doc/dataset/8777 Contact: Availability: ![]() Description This product is built from two existing EMODnet data products. It uses the EUSeaMap product created by EMODNet Seabed Habitats and the Presence/absence data of macrozoobenthos in the European Seas product created by EMODnet Biology to obtain lists of all macrobenthic species occurring in all EUNIS seabed habitat types. For the purposes of this product the seabed habitat map is summarised on a grid at approx. 500m resolution, with each grid cell assigned to the dominant EUNIS code present within it. Summaries of benthic diversity are created for each grid cell, as well as more synthetic summaries by EUNIS category. The full matched benthos community data was written to file in the derived data folder as benthos_full_matched in parquet format with gzip compression.
