Habitat / Biotope Mapping

Habitat and biotope maps provide immediately accessible information regarding the extent and distribution of ecological resources and have particular use in informing decision making processes. EMU Limited’s marine ecologists have extensive experience of both subtidal and intertidal biotope classification and mapping using GIS including the interpretation of acoustic and ground truth data from ecological surveys for inferred biotopes. Services include the following;

  • Rapid habitat survey techniques
  • In-situ faunal and floral recording.
  • Intertidal and subtidal surveying based on MNCR techniques
  • High level DGPS mapping
  • Remote and in-situ video survey
  • Sidescan survey mapping and habitat interpretation
  • Similarity matching to MNCR
  • Biotope classification
  • Novel Biotope description
  • Biotope mapping into GIS
  • Sensitivity analysis
