Sea bed sediment maps for the 4 marine sub-regions prepared as part of the initial evaluation of the MSFD (Marine Strategy Framework Directive).

Les périmètres des quartiers prioritaires de la politique de la ville sont fixés par le décret n° 2014-1750 du 30 décembre 2014 pour la métropole et par le décret n° 2014-1751 du 30 décembre 2014 pour les départements et collectivités d’outre-mer, rectifiés par le décret n°2015-1138 du 14 septembre 2015.

This marine geophysical and multibeam survey was undertaken by British Geological Survey on behalf of Marine Scotland utilising the Northern Lighthouse Board vessel NLV Polestar, it took place in July/August 2012 off south-west Tiree. The purpose was to further our understanding of Scotland’s marine environment, increase the efficiency of use of public resources, enhance the safety of those at sea and contribute to new policy priorities such as marine protected areas, wider conservation measures, marine planning and renewable. Bathymetric data was collected using a Kongsberg EM3002D dual head, multibeam system. Data was acquired using a Kongsberg SIS operating system, logging raw .ALL files. This data was processed offline by BGS using CARIS HIPS and SIPS 7.1 SP2.

This BGS marine geophysical survey took place in July 2005 in the Summer Isles region aboard the RV Calanus. The survey was a part of the BGS Offshore Mapping and Modelling Project, North Atlantic Correlation. Subsurface data were gathered using a Surface Tow Boomer and a very detailed swath coverage of the Summer Islands region together with Loch Broom and Little Loch Broom was achieved using a Geoacoustics GeoSwath system supplied and operated by Fathoms Ltd.

This marine multibeam survey took place in August/September 2011 in the area of Lewis on board the Northern Lighthouse Board vessel NLV Pole Star. The survey was carried out by the British Geological Survey (BGS) on behalf of Marine Scotland. Sea floor bathymetry data were collected using a Kongsberg EM3002D multibeam system.

DTM data source was received from the data center (Bathymetrisches Datenzentrum) of the German Hydrographic Office (Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie) at a variable resolution. The data was then processed by ATLIS b.v. using the ATLIS SENS software suite and compiled into an EMODnet regional DTM. Although the resolution varied throughout the dataset, no interpolation was required to create a geographic grid of 0.0041667 degrees resolution.

DTM data source was received from the Danish Maritime Adminstration as a downloadable dataset relative to the national Danish datum DVR90. 4 downloads are available for Bornholm, Kattegat Nord, Kattegad Syd and Nordsoe.

DTM data source was created by taking contour lines and spot soundings from Norwegian Electronic Navigational Charts. NOTE: Data east of appr.

DTM compiled for inclusion into the EMODnet hydrography dataset. Original data was received from Netherlands Hydrographic Service at a source resolution of approximately 125 meters. An area north of the northern deep water routes on the Dutch continental shelf was not part of the source data. To fill in this area soundings taken from nautical charts were combined with the source data. The resulting data set was then interpolated using the ATLIS SENS software suite. The source data is extracted from the RBB database of the Hydrographic office. The RBB holds data that is the actual reflection of water depth of the Dutch waters at a resolution higher than 125 meter. Please contact the hydrographic office for more details.
