Sårbare marine bunndyr - observasjonsdata

Definition: The data set shows the relative abundance of different groups of vulnerable sedentary animals. The amount is calculated as the number of observations per video station. The data represent point observations and are suitable for comparing results from spatial predictive models for different vulnerable habitats and as background for the management of vulnerable areas. The data is presented separately for the following habitats or biotopes: Glass sponge community, sponge forest, cauliflower coral forest, sea feather bottom, soft bottom coral forest, sponge spiky bottom, Umbellula populations and hard bottom coral forest.

Usage

The relative amounts of vulnerable groups of organisms can be shown as points on a map where the amount is indicated using different symbols (size or colour). These constitute valuable information as a basis for decision-making when assessing new farming licences, discharges into the sea, disposal, development of petroleum-related installations, and regulation of fishing activity.

Explanation of assessment of FAIR principles:

There have made various tests to evaluate datasets in relation to the FAIR criteria. These are our interpretations, which then assess the criteria in relation to standards and protocols used for spatial data in Norway and Europe. For more information on which calculations we use for each indicator, look at the details of FAIR assessments for each specific dataset.
