Extraction of sand and gravel (HOLAS 2)

The dataset contains sand and gravel extraction activity during 2011–2015. The dataset is based on data submission by HELCOM Contacting Parties in response to data request. The dataset is quality assured and contains data from all the Baltic Sea countries.


Common extraction sites with information on volume of extraction was included in the dataset. The other extraction sites (building sites, exclusive sites) had only summed data for all the sites, as volumes of extraction in specific sites was classified as confidential information. For these sites the volumes was calculated from reported sum of "other extraction areas". The amount was equally divided between corresponding extraction areas. For some common extraction sites a shared amount was reported.

Statement

Remarks of the countries data submissions:

Denmark: Common extraction sites with information on volume of extraction was included in the dataset. The other extraction sites (building sites, exclusive sites) had only summed data for all the sites, as volumes of extraction in specific sites was classified as confidential information. For these sites the volumes was calculated from reported sum of "other extraction areas". The amount was equally divided between corresponding extraction areas. For some common extraction sites a shared amount was reported.

Estonia The accuracy of the extraction area is estimated to be ±0.0001 km2.

Finland: Amount of extraction identified from ICES WGEXT Report 2016. Finland had only one extraction in 2012. The extraction was reported for site called “Loviisan edustan merialue”. The reported amount was divided between two corresponding sites in Loviisa as no information on specific site was found.

Germany data received for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern area.

Lithuania Reported in m3 as total during 2011-2012. This has been interpreted to be the total extraction during the assessment period and is treated accordingly.

Poland Reported extraction both in tonnes and m3. Some reported extraction areas that had activity during 2011-2015 did not have information on the amount. Polish dataset is not complete as there occurs at least one more extraction site without spatial data. In the extraction site, named as Gdynia I, missing in the dataset total of 2904216,8 tonnes was extracted during 2011 to 2015.

Latvia: No activity reported in Latvia during 2011-2015.

Russia. 7 extraction sites added 2018
