HELCOM Metadata catalogue
Large shallow inlets and bays (1160)
Large shallow inlets bays (according to Habitats Directive Annex I) are large, shallow indentations of the coast, sheltered from wave action and where, in contrast to estuaries, the influence of freshwater is generally limited. The distribution map is based on data submission by HELCOM contracting parties. Most of the submitted data is based on GIS analysis and modelling, but also field inventories and ground-truthing has been carried out in some areas. Data coverage, accuracy and the methods in obtaining the data vary between countries.

Data source:
Denmark: Polygon data on large bays found within Natura 2000 sites. Source: Danish Nature Agency.
Estonia: Modelled distribution of large bays based on observations from national monitoring and inventories. Source: Estonian Marine Institute.
Finland: Modelled distribution of large bays. Source: Finnish Environment Institute.
Germany: Polygon data on large bays. Sources: Landesamt für Landwirtschaft, Umwelt und ländliche Räume Schleswig-Holstein and Landesamt für Umwelt, Naturschutz und Geologie Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
Latvia: No reported large bays.
Lithuania: No reported large bays.
Poland: Distribution of large bays based on surveys carried out for the marine Natura 2000 site protection plans in Gulf of Gdansk and Western Pomerania, source Maritime Offices in Gdynia and Szczecin.
Russia: Habitats Directive not implemented.
Sweden: Polygons of large bays based on GIS-analysis in the SAKU-projekt and modified in 2010 by Metria. 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 after corrections from Germany and Poland.
Attribute information: Raster value representing presence (1) or absence (0) of large shallow inlets and bays.
