Systematic conservation planning for the North-Atlantic deep sea

this dataset was built to feed a basin-wide spatial conservation planning exercise, targeting the deep sea of the north atlantic, in the framework of the atlas h2020 project. this approach aimed to inform marine spatial planning and conservation initiatives for the deep sea of the north atlantic, by identifying conservation priority areas for the vulnerable marine ecosystems (vmes) and deep fish species and discussing the efficiency of the current spatial management context relatively to conservation stakes.this publication provides (1) the links to spatial datasets used as an input, (2) the r scripts used to run the final conservation scenarios together with associated table of targets and connectivity matrix, that can be run on the input data, and (3) the outputs of the final scenarios constructed and computed for atlas.produced by ifremer.

本数据集之构建旨在滋养一项针对北大西洋深海区域的全流域空间保护规划实践，在H2020项目框架下进行。该策略旨在通过识别易受伤害的海洋生态系统（VMEs）及深海鱼类物种的保护优先区域，并探讨当前空间管理环境相对于保护议题的效率，以指导北大西洋深海区域的海洋空间规划与保护措施。本出版物提供了（1）作为输入使用的空间数据集链接，（2）运行最终保护场景所用的R脚本以及相关目标表格和连通性矩阵，这些脚本可在输入数据上运行，（3）为Atlas项目构建和计算出的最终场景输出。由法国海洋研究与海洋应用研究所（Ifremer）制作。
