Territorial waters

It is based on a dataset by the European Environment Agency ( https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/maritime-boundaries). The Russian borders and some small segments are based in OpenStreetMap. See the attribute table for details.


The Swedish territorial waters file was edited in November 2019. The source was the Swedish Maritime Administration ( https://www.sjofartsverket.se/sv/Maritima-Tjanster/Havsgranser/)

Statement

The dataset was created using a layer downloaded from the European Environment Agency ( https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/maritime-boundaries). It was generated from the EUROSION project and, according to its metadata "quality appraisal have been performed by an international offshore-nearshore and maritime delimitations expert usually contracted by the ICJ." The main source of data comes out of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).


The borders from Russia and from some segments was created with data from OpenStreetMaps ( https://wambachers-osm.website/boundaries/). The boundaries were downloaded in shapefile and then merged with the EEA dataset.


The attribute table has two fields: Source (EEA or OSM) and Country.


In December 2017 the border between Estonia and Russia was corrected.


In November 2019 the Swedish territorial waters file was edited. The source was the Swedish Maritime Administration ( https://www.sjofartsverket.se/sv/Maritima-Tjanster/Havsgranser/)
