Overview of Swedish shallow coastal habitats

Description

Marine habitats are important regions for life in the coastal zone and one of the key indicators of ecological status and environmental state of water bodies.

Based on advanced radiative transfer modelling and machine learning techniques, Sentinel-2 satellite images have been used to map the shallow coastal habitats in a grid of 10x10 meters.
