Eddies are circular shaped or elongated rotating vortices of the sea surface, 300 - 500km wide. They are the oceanic analogy to storms in the atmosphere, and are clearly seen in maps of sea surface anomaly from altimeters. Positive anomaly features indicate the presence of anticyclonic eddies where the sea surface is doming upwards and causing downwelling. For downwelling features, strength and persistence are key determinants of increased primary productivity and thus aggregations of bioty.

EBSAs are special areas in the ocean that serve important purposes to support the healthyfunctioning of oceans and the many services it provides. Data was identified through a series of regional workshops.
Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA) are sites that contribute significantly to the global persistence of biodiversity.
IBA sites are identified on the basis of the bird numbers and species components that they hold, and are selected such that, taken together, they form a network throughout the species biogeographic distributions.
