Broad-scale habitat maps for the Baltic Sea have been produced in the EUSeaMap project in 2016. For German and Estonian marine areas, national (more accurate) datasets were used. German data included both substrate and light information (division into infralittoral/circalittoral). Estonian data included only substrate and the division into light regimes was obtained from the EuSeaMap data. Here, the habitat class “infralittoral sand” includes classes “Sand” and “Muddy sand” of the original data, in the infralittoral zone. The original polygon maps have been converted to 1 km x 1km grid. The scale of the substrate data used in broad-scale habitat maps varies from 1:250 000 to 1:1M (data from EMODnet Geology). Coarser resolution data has been used in areas, where 1: 250 000 substrate data has not been available. Due to different scales used, the habitat classes may show different sized patterns in different areas.

Broad-scale habitat maps for the Baltic Sea have been produced in the EUSeaMap project in 2016. For German and Estonian marine areas, national (more accurate) datasets were used. German data included both substrate and light information (division into infralittoral/circalittoral). Estonian data included only substrate and the division into light regimes was obtained from the EuSeaMap data. Here, the habitat class “infralittoral hard substrate” includes classes “Rock and other hard substrate” and “Coarse substrate” of the original data, in the infralittoral zone. The original polygon maps have been converted to 1 km x 1 km grid. The scale of the substrate data used in broad-scale habitat maps varies from 1:250 000 to 1:1M (data from EMODnet Geology). Coarser resolution data has been used in areas, where 1: 250 000 substrate data has not been available. Due to different scales used, the habitat classes may show different sized patterns in different areas.

Large shallow inlets bays (according to Habitats Directive Annex I) are large, shallow indentations of the coast, sheltered from wave action and where, in contrast to estuaries, the influence of freshwater is generally limited. The distribution map is based on data submission by HELCOM contracting parties. Most of the submitted data is based on GIS analysis and modelling, but also field inventories and ground-truthing has been carried out in some areas. Data coverage, accuracy and the methods in obtaining the data vary between countries.

The amount of collected mussels with dredging. Data is presented from the Danish mussel areas within the HELCOM marine areas. The data was made available by HELCOM Contracting Parties in response to data request. The data was received from Denmark. The activity was declared as not relevant in Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia and Sweden. Germany indicated that data is not available. Attribute specification and units: Nr: Identification number of the mussel area Name: Name of the mussel area BluMusl05 – BluMusl15: Amount of Blue mussel (kg) collected per year ComCockl05 – ComCockl15: Amount of Common Cockle (kg) collected per year Sum_BMus: Total amount of collected Blue mussel in 2005 to 2015 (kg) AVG_BMus: A calculated average of the collected blue mussels in 2005 – 2015 (kg/year) AVG_2_BM: A calculated average of the collected blue mussels in HOLAS2 period 2011 – 2015 (kg/year) Sum_ComC: Total amount of the collected common cockles in 2005 – 2015 (kg) AVG_ComC: a calculated average of the collected common cockles in 2005 – 2015 (kg/year) AVG_2_ComC: A calculated average of the collected common cockles in HOLAS2 period 2011 – 2015 (kg/year) Area: The mussel area within the dredging occurs (km2)

German data included both substrate and light information (division into infralittoral/circalittoral). Estonian data included only substrate and the division into light regimes was obtained from the EuSeaMap data. Here, the habitat class “circalittoral mud” includes classes “Fine mud”, “Sandy mud” and “Mud to sandy mud” of the original data, in the circalittoral zone. The original polygon maps have been converted to 1 km x 1 km grid. The scale of the substrate data used in broad-scale habitat maps varies from 1:250 000 to 1:1M (data from EMODnet Geology). Coarser resolution data has been used in areas, where 1: 250 000 substrate data has not been available.
