Distribution of Seagrasses

This dataset shows the global distribution of seagrasses (v.7.1), and is composed of two subsets of point and polygon occurrence data. The data were compiled by UN Environment World Conservation Monitoring Centre in collaboration with many collaborators (e.g. Frederick Short of the University of New Hampshire), organisations (e.g. OSPAR), and projects (e.g. the European project Mediterranean Sensitive Habitats “Mediseh”), across the globe (full list available in accompanying metadata table within the dataset).

Data can be accessed from the WCMC Ocean Data Viewer [http://data.unep-wcmc.org/datasets/7]
