Database for benthic habitat prediction in the Northwest Marine Region (NWMR). Version 1.0

Created 25/06/2025

Updated 25/06/2025

This product (i.e. an Access database and csv files) contains data (longitude, latitude and physical data) that explains the predicted spatial patterns of benthic habitats for demersal fish and benthic invertebrates in the NWMR. Predicted patterns for habitats represent point data on a 0.01 decimal degree grid covering most of the NWMR (approximately 600,000 square km).
