Ecologically or Biologically Significant Areas (EBSAs)

The EBSAs are special areas in the ocean that serve important purposes, in one way or another, to support the healthy functioning of oceans and the many services that it provides. The EBSAs contained din this dataset are the result of an Arctic Regional Workshop to Facilitate the Description of Ecologically or Biologically Significant Marine Areas (EBSAs) held in Finland on 3-7 march, 2014.

Supplemental Information

You can customize the template to suit your needs. You can add

and remove fields and fill out default information (e.g. contact details).

Fields you can not change in the default view may be accessible in the more

comprehensive (and more complex) advanced view. You can even use the XML editor

to create custom structures, but they have to be validated by the system, so

know what you do :-)
