Map Layers
Key

This is a free resource for viewing and downloading seabed habitat maps in European waters. It contains a broad-scale habitat map for all of Europe (known as EUSeaMap) and smaller detailed habitat maps from surveys where they exist.

To view the layers on your desktop GIS application or another web mapping portal using Web Map Service (WMS), you can use this link.

Before using this site, please read the EMODnet Seabed Habitats webGIS Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy.
