2010 Defra MB0102 2C Distribution of Seagrass beds (from polygon data) in the United Kingdom and Isle of Man

This layer shows the distribution of polygon records of seagrass beds, a Biodiversity Action Plan Habitat. This layer forms one of a set of data layers created for the Defra MB0102 contract. This work will support the delivery of a network of Marine Protected Areas as required to meet existing international and national obligations and commitments, including Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs), a new measure to be delivered as part of the Marine and Coastal Access Bill, and equivalent measures under Scottish legislation. The availability of these data layers will also be of importance in underpinning Marine Planning (e.g. licensing) in our marine area.本图层展示了海草床的多边形记录分布，海草床属于生物多样性行动计划栖息地（Biodiversity Action Plan Habitat）。本图层是为Defra MB0102合同研发的一组数据图层之一。本项目将助力落实现行国际与国家义务及承诺要求下的海洋保护区网络建设，其中包括作为《海洋与沿海通路法案》（Marine and Coastal Access Bill）新增举措的海洋养护区（Marine Conservation Zones, MCZs），以及苏格兰立法框架下的同类管护举措。上述数据图层的公开可用，还将为我国海域的海洋规划工作（如许可审批）提供重要支撑。
