The 'European Marine Ecosystem Condition (Health) assessment Tool' (MESH+) presents the resulting assessment grid (based on the EEA reference grid) with the classification of EccoSystem Health of the transitional, coastal and marine waters in the context of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). This classification has been performed using the MESH+ tool. The MESH+

Ecosystem types of Europe
The 'Ecosystem types of Europe' datasets combines the Copernicus land service portfolio, marine bathymetry and seabed information with the non-spatial EUNIS habitat classification for a better biological characterization of ecosystems across Europe.
The datasets aims to contribute to a better biological characterization of terrestrial and marine ecosystems across Europe (EEA-38 and United Kingdom). It represents probabilities of EUNIS (EUropean Nature Information System) habitat presence in terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems. The work supports the Mapping and Assessment of Ecosystems and their Services (MAES), Action 5 of Target 2 the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020, established to achieve the Aichi targets of the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD).
