Abstract

The dataset contains the shapefile of marine benthic broad habitats classified according to EUNIS classification for the Brazilian Exclusive Economic Zone region. It was developed using open access databases and GIS operations to develop two intermediate layers: (i) biological zones and (ii) substrate type. Both layers were combined to form the first continuous map of marine habitats for the entire region.
