This metadata corresponds to the EUNIS Littoral biogenic habitat types (salt marshes), distribution based on vegetation plot data dataset. Littoral biogenic habitats (commonly known as salt marshes) are formed by animals such as worms and mussels or plants. The verified saltmarsh habitat samples used are derived from the Braun-Blanquet database (http://www.sci.muni.cz/botany/vegsci/braun_blanquet.php?lang=en) which is a centralised database of vegetation plots and comprises copies of national and regional databases using a unified taxonomic reference database. The geographic extent of the distribution data are all European countries except Armenia and Azerbaijan. The dataset is provided both in Geodatabase and Geopackage formats.

Orthomosaics of the study area were generated by drones on 19 September 2024 and 18 September 2025. They were created from 895 images (2024) and 1,282 images (2025), captured at altitudes of 120 meters (2024) and 100 meters (2025) using the DJI Mavic 3E RTK (2024) and Mavic 3M RTK (2025) drones. The ground resolutions were 3.19 cm/pixel (2024) and 2.63 cm/pixel (2025). The surveyed area covers approximately 1 km², and the orthomosaics were resampled to a resolution of 10 cm/pixel.
