Service Description: <p>This dataset combines two separately published datasets: the
“Marine Ecoregions Of the World” (MEOW; 2007) and the “Pelagic Provinces Of the
World” (PPOW; 2012). These datasets were developed by Mark Spalding and
colleagues in The Nature Conservancy. Alongside the individual authors,
partners for the MEOW layer included WWF, Ramsar, WCS, and UNEP-WCMC. The
ecoregions and pelagic provinces are broadly aligned with each other and are
non-overlapping. </p>
<p>The MEOW dataset shows a biogeographic classification of the
world's coastal and continental shelf waters, following a nested hierarchy of
realms, provinces and ecoregions. It describes 232 ecoregions, which lie within
62 provinces and 12 large realms. The regions aim to capture generic patterns
of biodiversity across habitats and taxa, with regions extending from the coast
(intertidal zone) to the 200 m depth contour (extended beyond these waters out
by a 5 km buffer).</p>
<p>The PPOW dataset shows a biogeographic classification of the
surface pelagic (i.e. epipelagic) waters of the world's oceans. It describes 37
pelagic provinces of the world, nested into four broad realms. A system of
seven biomes are also identified ecologically, and these are spatially disjoint
but united by common abiotic conditions, thereby creating physiognomically
similar communities.</p>
