Seafloor geomorphology as benthic habitat GeoHAB atlas of seafloor geomorphic features and benthic habitats /
The conservation of marine benthic biodiversity is a recognised goal of a number of national and international programs such as the United Nations Convention on Biodiversity (CBD). In order to attain this goal, information is needed about the distribution of life in the ocean so that spatial conserv...
