Report of the Working Group on Marine Habitat Mapping (WGMHM)

The Working Group on Marine Habitat Mapping (WGMHM), chaired by Jacques Populus, France, convened at the Stareso (Liège University) in Calvi, Corsica, from 10–13 May 2011. Although a long list of ToRs had been adapted by the group at last year's meeting (with a view to accommodating any topic brought about by any member), it was decided in the course of the year to focus the 2011 meeting on habitat modelling. This was motivated by the number of developments on modelling reported in the literature and at conferences (e.g. Geohab) and even in other working groups (e.g. BEWG).
