Input data for the Marine conservation and maritime sectors (in)compatibility Analytical Module on ReMAP project, created in 2024 and compiled from different data sources is provided. Below is further information on datasets applied for the module and original metadata. More information about the module and the project can be found at http://www.geoportal.ulpgc.es/remap/ Input data contains: 1. Natura 2000 sites (https://www.eea.europa.eu/en/datahub/datahubitem-view/6fc8ad2d-195d-40f4-bdec-576e7d1268e4) 2. Nationally designated areas (CDDA) (https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/nationally-designated-areas-national-cdda-17/cdda). This dataset was harmonized with the data model of the module “MSP compatibility with marine conservation analytical module” for ReMAP project. 3. HELCOM MPAs (https://metadata.helcom.fi/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/d27df8c0-de86-4d13-a06d-35a8f50b16fa). This dataset was harmonized with the data model of the module “MSP compatibility with marine conservation analytical module” for ReMAP project. The application of the following international protection regimes can be considered in a similar way as a national implementation for the protection of a HELCOM MPA: - SCI/SAC (EU-Habitats Directive); - SPA (EU-Birds Directive); - UNESCO Biosphere Reserve; - UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site; - Ramsar Site. HELCOM Contracting Parties who are also EU Member States are encouraged to, when feasible, designate all appropriate Natura 2000 and MSFD MPA sites also as HELCOM MPAs.

This dataset was collected by HELCOM Secretariat during the HELCOM MORE project and represents monitoring stations in the Baltic Sea. This dataset contains all nutrient stations in the Baltic Sea as reported to the HELCOM MORE project.

Observations of Pleurogonium rubicundum were collected from the Baltic Sea area for HELCOM Red List species list. The HELCOM Red List of Baltic Sea species in danger of becoming extinct (2013) is the first threat assessment for Baltic Sea species that covers all marine mammals, fish, birds, macrophytes (aquatic plants), and benthic invertebrates, and follows the Red List criteria of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Almost 2800 species were considered in the Red List assessment and about 1750 were evaluated according to the IUCN Red List criteria. Pleurogonium rubicundum has been placed to the Red List category of Data Deficient (DD) species. Dataset for download contains spatial grid of the Baltic Sea. Distribution of the species can be found in corresponding name column. Values are coded: 1 - Present before year 2000 or in 2000, 2 - Present after year 2000, 3 - Present both before and after year 2000.

This dataset contains all heavy metal monitoring station locations where sediment is samples are analyzed as reported to HELCOM secretariat by HELCOM Contracting Parties by 2016.

This dataset contains the most up-to-date reported data about hydrographical monitoring stations in the Baltic Sea. Dataset for download contains Baltic Sea hydrographical monitoring stations. Frequency can be found in corresponding name column.

This core indicator evaluates the status of the marine environment based on concentrations of radioactive substances (Cs-137) in seawater and biota. Quantitative thresholds are used to evaluate if core indicators status is "Achieve", "Fail" or "Not assessed". Good status is achieved when concentrations reach levels measured before the Chernobyl accident in 1986. This dataset displays the result of the indicator in HELCOM Assessment Scale 2 (Division of the Baltic Sea into 17 sub-basins) for flatfish. Attribute information: "HELCOM_ID" = Code of the HELCOM scale 2 assessment unit "level_2" = Name of the HELCOM scale 2 assessment unit (subbasin) "Indicator" = Name of HELCOM Core indicator "Type" = Type of indicator "Threshold value" = Threshold value for specific assessment unit "Indicator value" = Value of indicator calculated for specific assessment unit "Status" = Status of the indicator (“Achieve”, “Fail” or “Not assessed”)

Observations of Scophthalmus maximus were collected from the Baltic Sea area for HELCOM Red List species list. The HELCOM Red List of Baltic Sea species in danger of becoming extinct (2013) is the first threat assessment for Baltic Sea species that covers all marine mammals, fish, birds, macrophytes (aquatic plants), and benthic invertebrates, and follows the Red List criteria of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Almost 2800 species were considered in the Red List assessment and about 1750 were evaluated according to the IUCN Red List criteria. Scophthalmus maximus has been placed to the Red List category of Near Threatened (NT) species. The map shows the sub-basins in the HELCOM area where the species is known to occur regularly and to reproduce (HELCOM 2012).

This dataset describes fishing intensity for SSC DMF mobile bottom contacting gear in 2009 based on VMS/Log book data processed by ICES Working Group on Spatial Fisheries Data (WGSFD). ICES secretariat collected during 2017 relevant VMS and logbook data for 2009-2016 to produce, as a technical service to HELCOM, updated spatial data layers on fishing intensity/pressure. Improved data quality control checks were implemented. Submitted data across the HELCOM area have improved in quality compared to previous data 2009-2013 published in 2015. Standardized methods were used to produce the requested data layers. The code used to create the data products is available here: https://github.com/ices-eg/wg_WGSFD For further technical information on the advice request, see http://www.ices.dk/sites/pub/Publication%20Reports/Advice/2017/Special_requests/helcom.2017.18.pdf HELCOM secretariat did the following processing to the shapefile provided by ICES: - Conversion to ETRS89LAEA coordinate system - Added feature and attribute "Reported" to display unreported areas.
