National Seashore and Estuary CBA Map

This dataset is the first version of a national CBA Map developed for the South African seashore (backshore and shore) and estuaries, aiming to align land-based and marine CBA Maps at the land-sea (including estuaries) interface. It was developed by doing cross-realm biodiversity planning for the coastal zone (using Marxan), extracting the seashore and estuaries, and systematically allocating areas to the different CBA Map categories. Because this is the first time this product has been developed, it is provided as a beta version for testing by biodiversity planners in South Africa.
