Definition of Habitat:
(1) The environment within which an organism is normally found. A habitat is characterized by the physical characteristics of the environment and/or the dominant vegetation or other stable biotic characteristics.[1].

Notes
1. The place where an organism is found – i.e. a wave-cut platform, as for example in the EU species and habitats Directive;
2. The area where a species is found, as used by biogeographers; or
3. The area where a species could potentially establish itself, as used by ecologists.
Different types of habitats are listed in the article Marine habitats and ecosystems.
