Total annual average input of phosphorus in 2012-2014 (3)

The PLC-5.5 project compiled information on total nutrient inputs to the Baltic Sea. This dataset provides figures for the magnitude of total waterborne and airborne inputs of nitrogenand phosphorus into the different sub-basins of the Baltic Sea. The inputs originate from waterborne inputs from the coastal (HELCOM) countriesand upstream countries in the catchment area, as well as atmospheric inputs from Baltic Sea shipping and distant sources (air emissions originating from non-HELCOM countriesand North Sea shipping) in 2010.The figures are based on waterborne input data reporting by the HELCOM countries under the PLC-5.5 project and atmospheric input data modeled by EMEP (European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme under the Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution, CLRTAP) based on emissions data reported by EMEP Contracting Parties. The complete PLC-5.5 dataset is available on the project web-page on the HELCOM website (http://www.helcom.fi/helcom-at-work/projects/plc-5-5).

HELCOM requires spatially explicit information on fishing activity affecting the Baltic Sea marine ecosystem for policy purposes. In order to obtain this information a joint ICES/HELCOM/OSPAR data call was issued to relevant authorities of contracting parties to deliver information on fishing activity based on VMS/Log book data. The raw data was submitted to ICES and processed to advice data products by ICES Working Group for Spatial Fisheries (WGSFD) as requested by HELCOM. Processing of the raw data requires specific resources, knowledge and guarantee of anonymity for specific vessels, thus the process was done by ICES WGSFD following Conditions for VMS data use. In 2015 ICES collated Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) and logbook data received; data from Russia were not received.

Suspected en route dumping areas (222)

The southern entrance to the Little Belt is an area that was used by German troops and refugees for munitions disposal during the last days of WWII. This dataset illustrates that areas where, according to historical accounts, en-route dumping of chemical munitions is likely to have taken place on the way to the official designated dumping area. For more information, see the HELCOM MUNI report (2013): Chemical Munitions dumped in the Baltic Sea. http://www.helcom.fi/Documents/Ministerial2013/Associated%20documents/Background/Dumped%20chemical%20munitions%20in%20the%20Baltic%20Sea.pdf

Chemical weapons dumpsites in the Baltic Sea (224)

The dataset was made based on information compiled by the HELCOM ad hoc Expert Group to Update and Review the Existing Information on Dumped Chemical Munitions in the Baltic Sea (HELCOM MUNI). The areas displayed indicate areas formerly chosen and designated for dumping munitions at sea, e.g, by instructing the ships' captains to dump in sight of a landmark or moored buoy. In addition the dataset contains information about a suspected dumpsite in the Gdansk deep. It should also be noted that dumping of munitions was also occasionally conducted outside of the known and designated dumping areas.The use of these terms is not necessarily reflected in the descriptions contained in sea charts. While the area south of Little Belt was used as a dumping area, for example, in contemporary sea charts it is only described as ‘foul (explosives)’ and not as ‘explosives dumping ground'.For more information, see the HELCOM MUNI report Chemical Munitions dumped in the Baltic Sea (HELCOM 2013).http://www.helcom.fi/Documents/Ministerial2013/Associated%20documents/Background/Dumped%20chemical%20munitions%20in%20the%20Baltic%20Sea.pdf

Reported encounters with chemical warfare materials 1961 to 2012 (226)

This dataset includes incidents of encounters with chemical warfare agents dumped in the Baltic Sea. The position of encounters is given in decimal degrees (WGS84), where the information is available (encounters lacking this geographic information are also included in the dataset, although they lack coordinates). The weight of the warfare agent payload (net weight) was estimated by visual inspection. Disposal on land or the relocation to emergency disposal sites due to potential explosive hazards is indicated, where the information is available. Data sources include incidents reported by HELCOM countries since the establishment of the HELCOM reporting system in 1994, fishing and shoring incidents with chemical warfare materials in Poland(since 1952-1983) and Denmark (1968-1984); the 1991 SACSA report and HELCOM 1994.Further, information about encounters of chemical warfare material by the Nord Stream pipeline project have been included in the dataast.For more details, see the HELCOM report on Dumped chemical munitions in the Baltic Sea (HELCOM 2013).http://www.helcom.fi/Documents/Ministerial2013/Associated%20documents/Background/Dumped%20chemical%20munitions%20in%20the%20Baltic%20Sea.pdfReferences:HELCOM (1994): Report on chemical munitions dumped in the Baltic Sea –report to the 16th Meeting of Helsinki Commission, 8- 11 March 1994, from the Ad Hoc Working Group on Dumped Chemical Munition (HELCOM CHEMU).

The data Includes CLC 2006 “artificial surfaces” classes 1-11 converted to polygons. Osm land use classes asphalt, brownfield, commercial, construction, garage, garages, harbour, industrial, industrial; retail, landfill, pitch, plaza, quarry, railway, residential and retail are interpreted as urban areas. These polygon are connected to final fishnet polygon so that if some part of the osm urban land use polygon intersects with fishnet this polygon is classified as urban area. OSM data is not quality assured and is based on a dataset that can be freely modified by all users.

Shellfish mariculture points (239)
