Abstract
    This report provides detailed information on the proposals for new EUNIS marine habitats down to level 6 compiled under the MeshAtlantic project for the Azores region. Overall, 81 new habitat proposals are presented, along with 18 description amendments to existing habitats, and 7 new upper levels are suggested. This represents a contribution to a more comprehensive typology of marine habitats of the European Atlantic coast.
