Resum
Two large areas belonging to the Canary Islands marine demarcation are part of the Natura 2000 network as Sites of Community Importance (SCI): "ESZZ15001-Banco de la Concepción" (total area 609,721.92 ha; depth range 158-2,687 m) and "ESZZ15002-Espacio marino del oriente y sur de Lanzarote y Fuerteventura" (total area 1,433,248.92 ha; depth range 0-3,300 m). Within the framework of the LIFE INTEMARES IP project, Action A.2.I, and before the designation of these two SCis as Spccial Areas of Conservation, the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO) is responsible for completing information necessary for the development of management plans. In the present study, a general analysis of the bíodiversity of the two SCis is carried out, starting from the updated catalogs, based mainly on previous IEO research and on information from the Canary lslands Biodiversity Data Bank, a comprehensive database of the Regional Government that draws on all current and historical information, backed by documents supervised by specialists. Special emphasis is placed on protected specíes and habitat forming species, which are considered key elements for management.
