  • This dataset contains all PFOS in sediment monitoring station locationsas reported to HELCOM secretariat by HELCOM Contracting Parties by 2016.

  • This dataset contains all PAH in seawater station locationsas reported to HELCOM secretariat by HELCOM Contracting Parties by 2016.

  • This dataset contains all PCB in sediment monitoring station locations as reported to HELCOM secretariat by HELCOM Contracting Parties by 2016.

  • The occurrence of suitable nursery habitats is crucial for maintaining fish populations (Sundblad et al. 2013). For perch, species distribution modelling studies (Snickars et al. 2010, Bergström et al. 2013, Sundblad et al. 2013) have shown the importance of suitable environmental conditions for reproduction. Due to lack of coherent data on perch spawning and nursery areas across the Baltic Sea countries, environmental variables were used in delineating potential recruitment areas for perch. The distribution area or perch recruitment is delineated by selecting areas where depth < 4 m (For Danish waters < 3 m), logged exposure < 5 (exposure model described in Isæus 2004), and salinity < 10 PSU. The threshold values have been obtained from literature (Snickars et al. 2010, Bergström et al. 2013, Skovrind et al. 2013, Sundblad et al. 2013). Relatively “loose” thresholds have been used, to rather overestimate than underestimate the recruitment area (precautionary approach). Along the Finnish coastline a national model has been used (Kallasvuo et al. 2016), with suitable environments for perch recruitment generalized to 1 km x 1 km grid.

  • Dataset represents the radioactive discharges from nuclear facilities in the Baltic Sea area. Data includes isotopes CS137, CO60 and SR90 Aquatic discharges in 2011-2014 with decay corrections.

  • This dataset contains point data describing the location of oil platforms in the Baltic Sea. The dataset is complete in Baltic sea coverage as it contains two known oil platforms.

  • Submarine structures made by leaking gases (according to Habitats Directive Annex I) are also known as “bubbling reefs”. These formations support a zonation of diverse benthic communities consisting of algae and/or invertebrate specialists of hard marine substrates different to that of the surrounding habitat. The distribution map is based on data submission by HELCOM contracting parties. Only Sweden and Denmark reported occurrences of submarine structures made by leaking gases.

  • The dataset contains the location of fossil fuel energy production facilities derived from the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR). E-PRTR cover all HELCOM Contracting Parties except Russia. Attribute specification and units: See E-PRTR code lists at https://www.eionet.europa.eu/schemas/eprtr/listOfValues In the HELCOM data review process, some facility locations appeared to be spatially slightly misplaced, adding up to uncertainty of data products derived from this dataset.

  • This dataset contains the commercial Ports of Baltic Sea. The dataset was created in 2016 to be used in HELCOM Assessments. Attribute specification and units port: Name of the port Country: Name of the country LOCodes: the United Nations Code for Trade and Transport Locations

  • This dataset contains all PBDE in sediment monitoring station locations as reported to HELCOM secretariat by HELCOM Contracting Parties by 2016.
