Selection frequency of planning units in final scenarios of the ATLAS-EU basin-scale systematic conservation planning exercise, aiming to identify conservation priority areas for the deep-sea biodiversity. The selection frequency reflects how often the 25km * 25km units were selected within the 30 solutions of the scenario, from 0 for units that were never selected, to 30 for systematically selected units. This basin-scale systematic conservation planning in aimed to inform Marine Spatial Planning and conservation initiatives for the deep sea of the North Atlantic, by identifying conservation priority areas for the Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) and deep fish species and discussing the efficiency of the current spatial management context relatively to conservation stakes. This work is exposed in ATLAS-EU Deliverable 3.4: “Conservation Management Issues in ATLAS. Basin-scale systematic conservation planning: identifying suitable networks for VMEs protection”.
