National Ecosystem and Ecosystem Services Map – Marine areas that provide food
This dataset contains a raster file showing the approximate marine areas that provide food.
This dataset is part of a dataset series that establishes an ecosystem service maps (national scale) for a set of services prioritised through stakeholder consultation and any intermediate layers created by Environment Systems Ltd in the cause of the project. The individual dataset resources in the datasets series are to be considered in conjunction with the project report: https://www.npws.ie/research-projects/ecosystems-services-mapping-and-assessment
The project provides a National Ecosystem and Ecosystem Services (ES) map for a suite of prioritised services to assist implementation of MAES (Mapping and Assessment of Ecosystems and their services) in Ireland.
This involves stakeholder consultation for identification of services to be mapped, the development of a list of indicators and proxies for mapping, as well as an assessment of limitations to ES mapping on differing scales (Local, Catchment, Region, National, EU) based on data availability. Reporting on data gaps forms part of the project outputs.
The project relied on the usage of pre-existing data, which was also utilised to create intermediate data layers to aid in ES mapping. For a full list of the data used throughout the project workings, please refer to the project report.

1. Habitat Asset Register (for estuaries, saltmarshes, coastal lagoons)
2. Collated Seabed Substrate
3. Predicted habitats – North Sea and Celtic Sea
4. Bathymetry
5. Conservation Designations
6. Offshore Special Areas of Conservation (SAC’s)
7. Inshore Fisheries
8. Dredge Fishing Activity
9. Line Fishing Activity
10. Net Fishing Activity
11. Bottom Trawl Fishing Activity
12. Mid-water Trawl Fishing Activity
13. Biologically Sensitive Area
14. Greencastle Codling Area
15. Marine Data Buoys
16. OSPAR Windfarms
17. Fishing Ports
18. Shellfish Waters Directive
19. Commercial Ports
20. Dumping at Sea Boundaries
21. Marinas

These datasets were scored to represent the contribution of the individual classes to temporary water storage. For the full processing methodology, including a comprehensive list of the input datasets, associated scores, full processing methodology, including any modification of the input data refer to the project Final Report (resource 23).
The final raster dataset has been created at a cell size of 50m. All processing steps were carried out at a cell size of 50m.
Metadata for all input datasets is included with the datasets in question.

Project processing was carried out in EPSG29902.
Final outputs were converted to EPSG2157, using the transformation provided by proj4 ( https://trac.osgeo.org/proj/wiki/FAQ), which is used by most GIS software for coordinate system manipulation. The source Coordinate Reference System is WGS84. The transformation used is equivalent in accuracy to the one held by NPWS.
This dataset has been created using various processing and GIS software including; ArcMap 10.1, FME, and QGIS.
