Carta Geológica Simplificada — Porto Santo (1:80 000)
What this layer shows
The geology of the island of Porto Santo from the same Simplified Geological Map (LNEG and the Autonomous Region of Madeira, 1:80,000): each geological unit with its description and approximate age. A simplified, regional-scale map: it does not replace a geological or geotechnical survey of the site.

Madeira and the Azores
The set for working on the islands. ICNF's and APA's national layers cover the mainland only: these are the ones that answer on the islands: Natura 2000 and the national inventory of classified areas, on Madeira, Porto Santo, the Selvagens and the nine islands of the Azores. On Madeira come the regional layers: areas of potentially significant flood risk, sea cliffs, the land cadastre (still partial), the geological map, PDM zoning, landslide and fire susceptibility, coastal risks and the Santana and Porto Santo biosphere reserves. On the Azores, the Regional Government's layers: Ramsar sites, biosphere reserves, flood-risk zones, water-abstraction protection and vulnerable zones.
