Also their underwater parts are included in the habitat. The distribution map is based on data submission by HELCOM contracting parties. Only Sweden and Finland reported occurrences of esker islands. Only underwater parts are included in the datasets. The data is based on modelling and GIS analysis. Data coverage, accuracy and the methods in obtaining the data vary between countries.

Latvia: No reported esker islands. Lithuania: No reported esker islands. Poland: No reported esker islands. Russia: Habitats Directive not implemented. Sweden: Polygon data of distribution of 1610 Baltic esker islands. Modelling based on depth contours. Source: Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management (HaV) Data quality: Data quality and habitat definitions vary between countries. Data is often based on modelling and ground-truthing has not always taken place. The dataset was approved by all HELCOM Contracting Parties in the HOLAS II Ecosystem component data review process during first quarter of 2017. Attribute information: Raster value representing presence (1) or absence (0) of uw parts of esker islands.
