Global habitat suitability for Scleraxonia cold water octocoral

Global habitat suitability for Scleraxonia cold water octocoral This dataset consists of global raster maps indicating the habitat suitability for 7 suborders of cold water octocorals (Octocorallia found deeper than 50m). Maps present a relative habitat suitability index ranging from 0 (unsuitable) to 100 (highly suitable). This data set has been used as one of the data inputs in the Atlantic REMP project. This project, funded by the European Union, worked together with stakeholders to produce a draft Regional Environmental Management Plan (REMP) for the Area in the North Atlantic, with a focus on the polymetallic sulphide deposits of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge which are of interest for deep-sea mining. There was close collaboration with the International Seabed Authority (ISA) and a consortium of scientific organisations. Marine data from multiple data services underpinned the environmental management plan development. A selection of the data sets is included in EMODnet Ingestion for wider distribution.硬轴亚目（Scleraxonia）冷水八放珊瑚全球生境适宜性数据集 本数据集包含全球栅格地图，用于表征栖息深度大于50米的八放珊瑚亚纲（Octocorallia）所属7个亚目的冷水八放珊瑚的生境适宜性。该系列栅格地图采用相对生境适宜性指数，取值范围为0（不适生）至100（高度适生）。 本数据集曾作为核心数据输入项之一，应用于大西洋区域环境管理计划（Regional Environmental Management Plan, REMP）项目。该项目由欧盟资助，联合多方利益相关方，为北大西洋海域编制了区域环境管理计划（REMP）草案，重点关注大西洋中脊的多金属硫化物矿床——此类矿床为深海采矿的重点关注对象。 项目与国际海底管理局（International Seabed Authority, ISA）及多个科学机构组成的联盟开展了紧密协作。多源海洋数据服务提供的数据集，为该环境管理计划的编制提供了核心支撑。 本项目所选用的部分数据集已纳入EMODnet汇交系统（EMODnet Ingestion），以实现更广范围的分发共享。
