The dataset contains sand and gravel extraction activity during 2011–2015. The dataset is based on data submission by HELCOM Contacting Parties in response to data request. The dataset is quality assured and contains data from all the Baltic Sea countries. Common extraction sites with information on volume of extraction was included in the dataset. The other extraction sites (building sites, exclusive sites) had only summed data for all the sites, as volumes of extraction in specific sites was classified as confidential information. For these sites the volumes was calculated from reported sum of "other extraction areas". The amount was equally divided between corresponding extraction areas. For some common extraction sites a shared amount was reported.

The dataset contains sand and gravel extraction activity during 2016–2021. The dataset is based on data submitted by HELCOM Contracting Parties in response to a data call. The dataset contains active sand and gravel extraction sites as reported by Estonia, Finland and Germany. Attribute specification and units with predefined values specified from the data call Name: Name of the extraction site Area: Area where the activity is taking place in km2 amount2016 - 2021: Amount of extraction reported per year in tonnes or/and m3 Depth: Metres per event Category: Recurrence of the extraction (one-time, recurring event) Start_day: Start day of the dredging activity Start_mont: Start month of the dredging activity Start_year: Start year of the dredging activity End_day: End day of the dredging activity End_month: End month of the dredging activity End_year: End year of the dredging activity Sediment: Type of sediment extracted (mud, sand, hard substrate, mixed sand, other) Method: Method used in the extraction (digging/dredging device (open, enclosed), suction device, other) Notes: notes regarding the reported data
