  • Data represent the ecosystem service quantified benefit estimates in the Baltic Sea in 1x1km grid. Map is based on data submitted for the HOLAS3 data call and the methodology for estimating these benefits is described in the HOLAS 3 ESA thematic assessment report. The process involves the development of separate ecosystem component distribution maps and ecosystem service provision rate maps, which are then multiplied to calculate the estimated delivery of bio-physical benefits.

  • This dataset contains core indicator data developed under the HELCOM Third Holistic Assessment of the Ecosystem Health of the Baltic Sea (HOLAS 3).

  • This dataset is built from following Human activities datasets: • https://metadata.helcom.fi/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/3d6bd6f9-72d5-40cf-aaaa-b7c0c18878e3 • https://metadata.helcom.fi/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/41da8e41-d907-419d-8841-f95062d002e7 The game hunting of seabirds data (see separate metadata): The total number of hunted seabirds were averaged over 2016-2021 (number of hunted seabirds / year). The area of the reporting unit was used to calculate the number of hunted seabirds / km2 and the data was converted to 1km x 1km grid. The predator control of seabirds data (see separate metadata): The total number of hunted cormorants were averaged over 2016-2021 (number of hunted cormorants / year). The area of the reporting unit was used to calculate the number of hunted cormorants / km2 and the data was converted to 1km x 1km grid. The two datasets were first separately log transformed and then summed, to get the total value for each grid cell. Zero values were given to all grid cells with no reported seabird hunting activity. The layer was normalized.

  • This core indicator evaluates the status of the marine environment based on concentrations of heavy metal Lead (Pb) in water. Quantitative thresholds are used to classify core indicators status in “Achieve”, “Fail” or “Not assessed”. Threshold values are based on Environmental quality standards (EQS), defined at EU level for substances included in the priority list under the Water Framework Directive. This dataset displays the result of the indicator in HELCOM Assessment Scale 4 (Division of the Baltic Sea into 17 sub-basins and further division into coastal and off-shore areas and division of the coastal areas by WFD water types or water bodies).

  • This core indicator evaluates the status of the marine environment based on concentrations of Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) metabolites in biota. Quantitative threshold value is used to classify core indicators status in “Achieve”, “Fail” or “Not assessed”. As There is no commonly agreed threshold value for measuring metabolites available, this report only considers concentrations of contaminants.

  • Physical loss pressure layer combines all human activities that cause physical loss of seabed. The pressure is given as area lost in each cell (km2). For the polygon datasets the area was assumed to be the lost area. For line and point datasets spatial extents were calculated with buffers (below in brackets). If no buffer extent is indicated, the data was reported as polygon. The human activities used for the physical loss pressure: Land claim - Area of polygon or 50 m buffer for points, 30m buffer for lines. Area of polygon - buffered line or point data, equals lost area. Watercourse modification - 50 m buffer. Area of polygon, buffered line or point data, equals lost area. Coastal defence and flood protection - 50 m buffer for lines, area of polygon. Area of polygon, buffered line or point data, equals lost area. Extraction of sand and gravel - Area of polygon. Area of polygon equals lost area. Dredging (capital) - Area of polygon or a 25/50 m buffer for <5000 m3 / >5000m3 sites. Area of polygon, buffered line or point data, equals lost area. Oil platforms - 25 m buffer. Buffered point data, equals lost area. Pipelines - 15 m buffer around cables with operational status. Area of polygon, buffered line or point data, equals lost area. Wind farms - 30 m buffer around each turbine with operational status. Buffered point data, equals lost area. Cables - 1.5 m buffer around cables with operational status. Buffered line data, equals lost area. Harbours - Polygon with 200 m buffer. Area of polygon, buffered line or point data, equals lost area. Marinas and leisure harbour - Point with 200 m buffer. Buffered point data, equals lost area. Bridges - 2 m buffer. Buffered line data, equals lost area. Finfish mariculture - 150 m buffer. Buffered point data, equals lost area. Shellfish mariculture - Area of polygon, 150 m buffer for points. Buffered point data, equals lost area. Activities are combined and potentially overlapping areas are removed. Dataset is clipped with coastline. Combined layer is intersected with 1 km grid to calculate % of area lost within a cell.
