ECO-DRR - Sea Grasses
EcoDRR global classification scheme based on spatial combination of ecosystem coverage and natural hazard physical exposure.
The ecosystem data-set contains area percentage of each considered ecosystem in a 100 square kilometer cell.
For a specific ecosystem, a 0.01 degree resolution raster of coverage real area is generated.
The quality of ecosystem in a 100 km2 grid cell is expressed as its area percentage, considering only cell ocean area for sea grass ecosystem.

This dataset shows the global distribution of seagrasses, and is composed of two subsets of point and polygon occurence data. The data were compiled by UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre in collaboration with many collaborators (e.g. Frederick Short of the University of New Hampshire), organisations (e.g. the OSPAR Convention for the Northeast Atlantic sea), and projects (e.g. the European project Mediterranean Sensitive Habitats "Mediseh"), across the globe (full list available in "Metadata_Seagrass.dbf").
