Title

2009 Defra MB0102 2A Topographic Features and Rock Outcrops

Abstract

Topographic seabed features and rock outcrops located within UK Territorial and Offshore waters. Collated from digitalised georeferenced maps and images. This dataset is associated with a series of digital maps/spatial information layers that are designed to help identify Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) in UK waters. (see Project MB0102: 'Accessing and developing the required biophysical datasets and datalayers for Marine Protected Areas network planning and wider marine spatial planning purposes' - Report No.8, Task 2a Mapping of Geological and Geomorphological Features)
