HABMAP is a three-year seabed mapping project
covering the southern part of the Irish Sea. The project was partly
funded by the INTERREG IIIA programme.
Prosiect mapio gwely'r môr am dair blynedd yw
HABMAP sy'n cynnwys rhan ddeheuol Môr Iwerddon. Mae'r prosiect yn
cael ei gyllido'n rhannol gan raglen INTERREG IIIA.
Scéim mapála 3 bliana is ea HABMAP ag grinneall na

About the project
The HABMAP project has produced working habitat maps of the seabed of the
southern Irish Sea using novel predictive modelling techniques. For more information about the modelling and mapping work, see the data collation and modelling pages.
HABMAP also undertook some survey work in four areas of the southern Irish Sea (Arklow Bank, Celtic Deep, St Georges Channel and Caernarfon Bay). For more information see the Cruises pages.
The interreg HABMAP project report was produced at the end of November 2007. This is now available in pdf format from the downloads section. The final biotope maps in GIS format are also available to download.
We are pleased to announce that the HABMAP project will be continuing for a further two years, during which time we hope to refine the biotope modelling, extend the maps to cover all Welsh waters and apply the maps to practical problems such as sensitivity mapping, marine spatial planning and impact modelling.
