Marine Article 17 Reporting Habitat Features dataset https://portal.medin.org.uk/portal/start.php?tpc=007_NRW_DS119100 Reporting under Article 17 of the EU Habitats Directive requires member states to report on progress towards achieving favourable conservation status for habitats and species of Community Importance. The assessment of conservation status does not only relate to that component of the habitat area or species population to be found in Special Areas of Conservation, but to the totality of the habitats and species throughout the United Kingdom. The results of NRW's feature monitoring work and other evidence collected (survey) or collated (other data sources) on feature extent feed in to the process of mapping and reporting under Article 17. JNCC coordinate and provide UK-level feature reports under Article 17; England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland submit country-level data and information to inform these reports. This dataset only consists of the Welsh component of the Article 17 mapping. This dataset is due to be replaced by the Marine Annex 1 Habitat Maps (Reg9a 2024) data (NRW_DS161407). The new data will be published on DataMapWales once it has gone through an Open Data Risk Assessment. 20180212
