Code and derived data for: Blue-carbon value, maritime pressure and protection do not coincide: prioritising Posidonia oceanica conservation under shipping and anchoring in the western and central Mediterranean (Marine Policy, JMPO-D-26-01757, R1)

Abstract: Full analysis chain and gridded dataset for a GIS-MCDM prioritisation of Posidonia oceanica blue-carbon conservation and restoration in the western–central Mediterranean under maritime traffic and anchoring pressure. Includes: (1) Colab notebooks that assemble a 90,000-cell 0.05° grid from open EMODnet, Marine Regions and MAPAMED layers and enrich it with EEZ jurisdiction, areal-intersection MPA membership and zonal bathymetry statistics; (2) a self-contained Python script that reproduces, from the included art45_grid_v5.csv, every statistic and figure reported in the associated manuscript — CRITIC weighting, value–pressure decoupling, conflict typology, the jurisdictional governance gap, depth-validated robustness checks, weighting- and aggregator-sensitivity, anchoring-proxy sensitivity, and the permutation test of conservation–restoration separation. Fixed seeds; no network access needed for reproduction.
