Data was acquired by Ireland’s national seabed mapping programme (INFOMAR - Integrated Management for the Sustainable Development of Ireland’s Marine Resource) in 2011. Data consists of marine habitat data created from the interpretation of multibeam echosounder backscatter and bathymetric data. The data were used to develop a methodology for the classification of MBES data into marine habitat maps and was an output of the MESH (Mapping European Seabed Habitats) Atlantic project.
