Statement

This geographic information is related to the abundance and distribution of seamounts of the Azores. A total of 63 large and 398 small seamount like features are mapped and described in the Azorean EEZ. The distribution of seamount extracted from this source published in 2008 predicts that about 57% of the potential Azores seamounts lie in the zone protected from deep-water trawling by European Commission Council Regulation No. 1568/2005.
