2009 Defra MB0102 2C Distribution of serpulid reefs (from polygon data) in the UK and Isle of Man

This layer shows the distribution of polygon records of serpulid reefs, 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.本图层展示了龙介虫礁（serpulid reefs）的多边形记录分布，该生境属于生物多样性行动计划栖息地（Biodiversity Action Plan Habitat）。 本图层为Defra MB0102号合同所构建的系列数据集图层之一。本项目将支持按要求建设海洋保护区（Marine Protected Areas）网络，以履行现有国际及国内义务与承诺，其中包括作为《海洋与海岸通道法案》（Marine and Coastal Access Bill）新增举措的海洋保护区域（Marine Conservation Zones, MCZs），以及苏格兰立法框架下的同类配套措施。上述数据集图层的公开可用性，也将为我国海域内的海洋规划（如许可审批）提供重要支撑。
