Seabed and habitat mapping in the Irish sector of the northeast Atlantic
Bathymetry and bathymetry derived products provide important information for the characterisation of habitats and for the study of environmental factors affecting habitats. Within the frame of the Irish National Seabed Survey (INSS), the extended Irish continental shelf below 200 m water depths was...
