Pelagic habitat condition dataset in support of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) Descriptor 1 (D01C06, 2018 Reporting)
This dataset is part of the Belgian submission for the 2018 Marine Strategic Framework Directive (MSFD) and reports on descriptor 1, criterion 6. This dataset describes the soft benthos analysis performed in the Belgian part of the North Sea between 2010 and 2016. Information on the location, date and procedure used for the sediment sampling is povided as well as the description of the species found in the samples. Based on this dataset, the Belgian MSFD reporting concluded that the benthic habitat quality is clearly lower in areas where a certain activity interferes with the environment in an intensive way.

Chlorophyll a concentration was generated from daily Ocean Colour data of the ENVISAT-MERIS satellite sensor for the years 2003-2011. The algorithms used to derive data from the satellite sensors correspond to the best available algorithms (algal-1 and algal 2 products, MEGS 7.5 processing, ESA) given a certain area and time period. Quality control has been applied according to the standard MERIS product confidence flags. Data is supplied at approximately 1 km resolution on a geographical grid with equal spacing in longitude and latitude covering the described region.
