IDENTIFICATION, CLASSIFICATION AND CODING OF BIOTOPE SOUTHERN STRIP OF THE CASPIAN SEA COAST-MAZANDARAN PROVINCE (REGION NOWSHAHR-BABOLSAR), BASED ON COASTAL-MARINE ECOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION STANDARD (CMECS), USING GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS)

Although coastal areas occupy less than15% of Earth's surface, but more than 60% of people have their place in the world. These areas as the interstitial region (Ecoton) are defined by the intensity and more vulnerable than other terrestrial ecosystems are increasing pressure from human activities in these areas can reduce habitat quality, biodiversity and loss of habitat of the Coast sensitive. One of the newest models for classification and coding of habitat, system CMECS (Coastal-Marine Ecological Classification Standard) Is the main goal The classification of ecological units and ecological habitat and biodiversity, with unit as Biotope With a standard form is simple. The Organization NOAA. America has been developed and applied. This study examined four times over a period of one year Field-Seasonal (to determine the possible effects of climate change seasons) with the identification, classification and coding region of coastal habitats Nowshahr-Babolsar in Mazandaran province, which is based on ecological standards CMECS And for consistency with international standards classification in line with national strategic plans of Iran took our fisheries and the environment that the two groups of data layers include components geomorfology spend level (SGC) And the biological components (BCC) The data have been collected
