The sediments layer protraits the type of sea floor you can find in the Baltic Sea area. | |||

The sediments layer is a static layer, it can help in decision making to plan for wind-farms or other structures fixed to the sea-floor. It can also assist in identifying potentially important areas for protection. | |||

The dataset was created to be used in the HELCOM Baltic Sea Impact Index (BSII). It represents benthic biotope complexes in the Baltic Sea, based on a combination of geological sediment data and light availability data. The dataset contains the following six classes: 1 = Photic sand 2 = Non-photic sand 3 = Photic mud and clay 4 = Non-photic mud and clay 5 = Photic hard bottom 6 = Non-photic hard bottom The sediment data used in this dataset has been produced within the EU Interreg IIIB project BALANCE (www.balance-eu.org). The light availability data has been produced withing the EUSeaMap project (unpublished data) and was reported on request to HELCOM Secreteriat by DHI. | "The dataset was created to be used in the HELCOM Baltic Sea Impact Index (BSII).

This layer was adapted for MSP Challenge integration. The photic and non-photic zones were merged to obtain just the sediments' classes: sand, mud and clay , and hard bottom. <headertabs /> | This layer was adapted for MSP Challenge integration.
