Ecotopes in the Dutch marine tidal waters : a proposal for a classification of ecotopes and a method to map them
Describes the concepts of ecotope and habitat which have been elaborated in workable descriptions. Subsequently the GIS-method that is used to map ecotopes and habitats is described. Two ecotope classifications are presented, respectively for the North Sea Dutch Continental Shelf and the marine coastal tidal waters, as well as the mapping results of this GIS-method. Finally several other forms of ecological maps that can be produced using the HABIMAP-method are discussed in short and some important future activities within this framework are indicated.
