This dataset contains two products: a roughly 100 m* resolution broad-scale predictive seabed habitat map in geodatabase format, and a set of confidence maps in GeoTIFF format. The data has been clipped to cover the current extent of the UK continental shelf. * 3 arc second = 93 m latitudinally by between 44 m (north) and 53 m (south) longitudinally Classification system: • EUNIS habitat classification system (http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/page-3365), with additional deep sea zones • MSFD predominant habitats • The Marine Habitat Classification for Britain and Ireland (http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/page-1584) Input data layers: • Seabed substrate type • Depth to the seabed • Amount of light reaching the seabed • Wave disturbance at the seabed • Kinetic energy at the seabed caused by tidal currents and waves A detailed description of the method used to create the EMODnet Seabed Habitats broad-scale habitat maps can be found in the EUSeaMap technical report on the EMODnet Seabed Habitats website: http://www.emodnet-seabedhabitats.eu/resources/documents/.

The UK 3-arc-second dataset was erased (in ArcGIS) from EUSeaMap 2016, to create a single full-coverage and flat dataset, before clipping to the UK continental shelf.
