OSPAR Threatened and Declining Habitats in the North-East Atlantic Ocean - v2025

Other

This is a compilation of OSPAR threatened and declining habitat point and polygon data for the northeast Atlantic submitted by OSPAR contracting parties. The compilation is coordinated by the UK's Joint Nature Conservation Committee, working with a representative from each of the OSPAR coastal contracting parties. This public dataset does not contain records relating to sensitive species (e.g. Ostrea edulis) in specific areas, or where data are restricted from public release by the owner's use limitations.
