Fish farms (BRISK)

The data set is showing areas where fish farming takes place in the Baltic Sea area as points. The data set used for the BRISK project (Sub-regional risk of spill of oil and hazardous substances in the Baltic Sea, http://www.brisk.helcom.fi/). The dataset has been produced by COWI (http://www.cowi.dk) based on data collected by HELCOM from Baltic countries (Finland: Copyright SYKE) and by Germany. The dataset includes data provided by the BRISK Project Partner organisations from various Baltic Sea countries. The detailed documentation of what partner provided what data is given in the Annex of the document: 70618-3.1.2.2 Data Collection Report. Fish farms are stationary and therefore the floating oil or chemicals may cause great damage to the reared fish.
