Modeled distribution map of Lophelia Reef and Pheronema aggregations in the North East Atlantic in 2022 Citation Bridges, A.; Howell, K.; University of Plymouth (UoP), United Kingdom; (2023): Modeled distribution map of Lophelia Reef and Pheronema aggregations in the North East Atlantic in 2022. https://marineinfo.org/id/dataset/8213 Contact: Howell, Kerry Also accessible through: Availability:  This dataset is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.Description Species distribution models (Maxent) predicting the distribution of two Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VME): the reef-forming Scleractinian coral Desmophyllum pertusum and the aggregations forming Hexactinellid sponge Pheronema carpenteri. Both of these species are VME indicator taxa and form habitat that enhance deep-sea diversity (Ross and Howell, 2013). Maps of the likely distribution of the habitat formed by these two species will enable efficient Marine Spatial planning to facilitate their conservation. This work was performed at the University of Plymouth in 2021. A GIS layer is provided for each species. moreThis project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 862428 (MISSION ATLANTIC).
