About the maps
Benthic maps show the benthic marine bioregions at three spatial scales (Provinces, Biomes and Geomorphic Units). Maps of all supporting geological, biological and oceanographic data are also provided. The maps are drawn at a scale of 1:6,000,000 and have been formatted for printing at a paper size of A0. All maps are in PDF format (around 650KB each).
