Oceanographic Data

Marine birds are intrinsically linked to trophic resources and tend to concentrate in areas of high productivity, which depend on various physical and biological factors, such as the surface temperature, salinity, currents, upwelling regions, topography and bathymetry, primary production and food availability (fish). To better characterize the study area and define the areas most favourable for concentrations of marine birds, the following parameters are analysed:

Sea distribution of marine birds listed in Annex I of the Birds Directive and migratory species

Fishing activities and localization of the principal fish stocks;

Interaction between marine birds and fishermen over the same marine resources

Results:
The production of a GIS with bathymetric data, navigation maps, general ocean circulation, submarine topography, Portuguese EEZ, maritime routes, coastal limits, condition of the fishery in Portugal.

(Bathymetry, general circulation, principle maritime routes; Portuguese EEZ, coastal limits and Atlantic Ocean toponymy)
