Statement

This layer is linked to the following study: "Characterizing Soft-bottom Megabenthic Communities of the Mediterranean Continental Shelf: A Biogeographic Approach", 2025, Jade Millot, Sandrine Vaz, Tarek Hattab, Christopher J. Smith, Carlos Dominguez-Carrió, Beatriz Guijarro, Grégoire Certain, Vasilis Gerovasileiou, Vincent Georges, Caterina Stamouli, Michele Casini, Chiara Manfredi, Emanuela Fanelli, Germana Garofalo, Marie-Claire Fabri, Daniela Massi, Angélique Jadaud, Adriana Profeta, Pierluigi Carbonara, Evgenia Lefkaditou, Slavica Petović, Athanasios Evangelopoulos, Nikolaos Kamidis, Ioannis Thasitis, Jurgen Mifsud, Kelly Camilleri, Valentina Lauria. This study is submitted but not yet published.

Description

GFCM geographical sub-areas (GSA) without in-situ observations were identified and used to produce a mask layer to highlight extrapolated areas in Mediterranean bioregions of megabenthic communities.

Rationale

This layer may be used as a mask for the bioregion layer

Description

GSA 22 and 23 were further segmented to report on areas without observations within.
