2009 Defra MB0102 2C Distribution of coastal saltmarsh (from polygon data) in the United Kingdom and Isle of Man

This layer shows the distribution of polygon records of coastal saltmarsh, 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.本图层展示了作为生物多样性行动计划生境（Biodiversity Action Plan Habitat）的海岸盐沼的多边形记录分布情况。 本图层是为Defra MB0102号合同制作的一系列数据图层之一。此项工作将支持按现有国际与国家义务及承诺要求，建设海洋保护区网络，其中包括作为《海洋与沿海通道法案》实施内容之一的海洋保育区（Marine Conservation Zones, MCZs），以及苏格兰立法框架下的同类保护措施。上述数据图层的可用性还将为我国海域的海洋规划（如许可审批）提供重要支撑。
