Baltic Sea

BALANCE 2007 marine landscape map [10]

Percentage surface area cover of marine landscape habitats (representativity); number of landscape habitat replicates (replication) and distance between habitat patches (connectivity) contained within the MPA network.

Baltic Sea

EUSeaMap [12] . Interim draft Baltic Sea Broad-Scale Predictive Habitat Map.

Percentage surface area cover of marine landscape habitats (representativity); number of landscape habitat patch replicates (replication) and distance between habitat patches (connectivity). Distance between selected and merged benthic habitat types (connectivity) contained within the MPA network.

2013

OSPAR Dinter II and III regions

EUSeaMap [12] at EUNIS level 3

Broad-scale habitat surface area coverage (representativity), number of habitat type replicates (replication), % coverage of habitat type (adequacy) and distance between habitat types (connectivity) contained within the MPA network.

French and UK Channel island

EUSeaMap [12] at EUNIS level 3

Percentage surface area of broad scale habitat types (rep-resentativity) contained within the MPAs contained in the OSPAR database.

2014

French and UK Channel island

EUSeaMap EUNIS level 3 broad scale habitats [12] , which was downloaded from the MESH (Mapping European Sea-bed Habitats) website (http://www.searchmesh.net/default.aspx)

Number of replicates of ten habitats (replication), size distribution of habitat patches (viability), total area of habitat patches (adequacy) contained within the Channel island MPAs and geographical distance among habitat patches and MPAs (connectivity).

UK continental shelf waters

UKSeaMap combined map draft version (v0.2) which integrates EUSeaMap broad-scale habitats and field survey data (http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/page-6655#EUNIScombined).

Number of EUNIS level 3 broad-scale habitats (replication), surface area coverage of habitats (representation), site proximity of EUNIS level 2 habitats (proximity).

UK continental shelf waters

EUSeaMap model of seabed habitats (2012 version22) and a draft version (dated 18th November 2013) of the EUNIS level 3 seabed habitat map integrating data originating from maps from UK field surveys and the EUSeaMap model (called the “UKSeaMap Combined Map”).

Number of each broad scale habitat feature present in each depth band/energy layer (OSPAR representatively principle), surface area computation of each EUNIS Level 3 habitat occurring in each Charting Progress 2 region (OSPAR features principle), distance between habitat types occurring within MPAs (OSPAR connectivity principle).

Celtic Seas

EUSeaMap [12] ; JNCC UKSeaMap

Broad-scale habitat maps were used to assess % of broad scale habitat surface area cover (adequacy), size distribution of broad-scale habitat patches (Viability), and distance between broad scale habitats (connectivity) contained within network.
