Besides geological mapping an important task of regional seabed mapping programmes such as MAREANO (Thorsnes, this volume) is relating geological and other environmental information to observations of benthic biology. In this way we can begin to develop maps indicating the distribution of ecologically relevant seabed environments and fauna occurring over the seafloor. Maps of this type have been given many names in the literature. The term ‘habitat map’ is perhaps the one most widely used but has also been adopted to describe maps including varying proportions of physical and biological information (e.g., Brown et al. 2005; Jordan et al. 2005; Kostylev et al. 2001; Lanier et al. 2007; Whitmire et al. 2007). Other related terms include marine landscapes (Golding et al. 2004, Al-Hamdani et al. 2007), seascapes (Day & Roff 2000), and biotopes (Foster-Smith et al. 2004).
