Cartographie des habitats benthiques du secteur du Croisic (REBENT, 2005)

This comprehensive map of the benthic communities of Le Croisic is realized as part of the REBENT programme, i.e. the surveying network for the benthic fauna and flora. It is the result of the treatment, the analysis and the data aggregation from authors and multiple specialized agencies : - ORTHOLITTORALE 2000, - IGN data of 2000 - TOTAL FINA ELF, Pays de la Loire Region and IFREMER data of 2002, - REBENT data from 2002 to 2004, - C. Bonnot-Courtois, J. Fournier, from the CNRS and C. Rollet, J. Populus, B. Guillaumont, R. Loarer, from Ifremer in 2005. The communities' qualification is made at the level 4 of the EUNIS classification, excepted when the simple field survey allows qualifying exactly the characteristic species to the level 5. The original legend is transferred to the "ORIG_HAB" attribute data field. The harmonization with the EUNIS typology was made in 2006, as part of the REBENT and Interreg-MESH programmes.
