Abstract
EMODnet Seabed Habitats provides a single access point to European seabed habitat data and products by assembling individual point datasets, maps and models from various sources and publishing them as interoperable data products for assessing the environmental state of ecosystems and sea basins. Furthermore, it continues to update the EMODnet broad-scale seabed habitat map for Europe, known as EUSeaMap, and makes available the environmental data and models used as inputs to EUSeaMap.

Technical notes
EMODnet Seabed Habitats provides the following key services to users: 1. Map viewer: a free, interactive mapping portal (webGIS) for viewing and downloading seabed habitat data as well as secondary input data layers to the broad-scale mapping such as energy and light penetration at the seabed. Users can build a query based on specific criteria such as geographic area, data layer or specific habitat. Alternatively, users can simply browse for information using the icons provided. 2. Web services: all layers can be exported using the Web Map Service (WMS) to personal desktop GIS applications or to other web mapping portals. 3. Download: Information can also be freely-downloaded in GIS format to be easily overlaid with users’ datasets. 4. Search: fully searchable metadata describing the file content is provided with the files following INSPIRE directive standards.
