The dataset contains the polygons of surrounding areas of grasslands or prairies of marine phanerogams. Bounding areas are zones in the sea near the shoreline where there is known to be grassland.

The dataset contains the polygons of known grasslands along the coast of Catalonia. The polygons have associated an attribute that indicates the type of community based on the species of phanerogams present: Posidonia oceanica; Cymodocea nodosa; Zostera noltii; Cymodocea nodosa i Caulerpa prolifera; Cymodocea nodosa, Zonstera noltii i Ruppia cirrhosa.

The dataset contains the coastline of Catalonia characterized for reporting the reliability of the grasslands in the 'Herbassars or prairies of marine phanerogams' dataset. If there is not known information in a section the line is not displayed. The degrees of reliability in which the line is classified are: Very high; High; Medium; Low.

Update of the second version of the cartography of habitats of community interest (CHIC) in Catalonia. The legend is the list of habitats in Annex I of the European Union Directive 97/62/EC. The geometry is of polygons, each of which contains from one to ten habitats of the legend. The presence of each habitat in the polygon is expressed by the cover, in percentage over 10.
