Shellfish production in kilograms in 2010-2015 in geometry form: points. Swedish data covers only the permitted production in year 2015. The data was made available by HELCOM Contracting Parties in response to data request. The data was received from Denmark (area), Germany (points) and Sweden (points). The activity was declared as not relevant in Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Russia.

Shellfish production in kilograms in 2010-2015 in geometry form: area (polygon). Swedish data covers only the permitted production in year 2015 (Swedish data in the point dataset). The data was made available by HELCOM Contracting Parties in response to data request. The data was received from Denmark (area), Germany (points) and Sweden (points). The activity was declared as not relevant in Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Russia. Attribute specification and units ID: Mariculture identification (DK) NR: Identification number (DK, mariculture permits) Country: Country AVG_all: A calculated average of production in 2010-2015 (Kg/year) AVG_11_15: A calculated average of shellfish production in 2011-2015 (Kg/year) 2010_Kg – 2015_Kg: An annual shellfish production (Kg) Area: Area of the shellfish mariculture (km2)

This dataset contains all TBT in sediments monitoring station locationsas reported to HELCOM secretariat by HELCOM Contracting Parties by 2016.

Mudflats and sandflats not covered by seawater at low tide (according to Habitats Directive Annex I) are often devoid of vascular plants, usually coated by blue algae and diatoms. They are of particular importance as feeding grounds for wildfowl and waders. The distribution map is based on data submission by HELCOM contracting parties. Only Denmark, Germany and Estonia reported occurrences of mudflats and sandflats. Most of the submitted data is based on modelling and/or GIS analysis. Data coverage, accuracy and the methods in obtaining the data vary between countries.

Estuaries (according to Habitats Directive Annex I) are coastal inlets that are strongly influenced by freshwater. The distribution map is based on data submission by HELCOM contracting parties. Most of the submitted data is based on modelling, GIS analysis and/or aerial photos. Data coverage, accuracy and the methods in obtaining the data vary between countries.

Regional hunting numbers for Ringed seals 2011-2014.

This dataset contains all heavy metal monitoring station locations, observed matrix, biota matrix and monitored species as reported to HELCOM secretariat by HELCOM Contracting Parties by 2016.

Distribution of Fucus sp. based on data submission by HELCOM contracting parties. Mainly pointwise occurrences of Fucus were submitted, originally gathered in national mapping and monitoring campaigns, or for scientific research purposes. From Estonian waters, a predictive model was used (200m resolution), that was converted to presence/absence using minimized difference threshold (MDT) criteria. All data (Fucus points and the raster presenting predicted presence of Fucus) were generalized to 5km x 5km grid cells.

This dataset contains all heavy metal monitoring station locations where seawater samples are analysed. The information is based on data reported to HELCOM secretariat by HELCOM Contracting Parties by 2016.

This dataset contains all PBDE in biota monitoring station locations, observed matrix, biota matrix and monitored species as reported to HELCOM secretariat by HELCOM Contracting Parties by 2016.
