The EMODnet (European Marine Observation and Data network) Geology project collects and harmonizes marine geological data from the European sea areas to support decision making and sustainable marine spatial planning. The partnership includes 39 marine organizations from 30 countries. The partners, mainly from the marine departments of the geological surveys of Europe (through the Association of European Geological Surveys-EuroGeoSurveys), have assembled marine geological information at various scales from all European sea areas (e.g. the White Sea, Baltic Sea, Barents Sea, the Iberian Coast, and the Mediterranean Sea within EU waters). This dataset includes EMODnet seabed substrate maps at a scale of 1:70 000 from the European marine areas. Traditionally, European countries have conducted their marine geological surveys according to their own national standards and classified substrates on the grounds of their national classification schemes. These national classifications are harmonised into a shared EMODnet schema using Folk's sediment triangle with a hierarchy of 16, 7 and 5 substrate classes. The data describes the seabed substrate from the uppermost 30 cm of the sediment column. Further information about the EMODnet Geology project is available on the portal (http://www.emodnet-geology.eu/).

This dataset represents the integrated assessment of hazardous substances in the Baltic Sea in 2011-2016, assessed using the CHASE tool (https://github.com/helcomsecretariat/CHASE-integration-tool). The integration is based on hazardous substances core indicators covering concentrations of hazardous substances. This dataset displays the result of the assessment in HELCOM Assessment unit Level 3 (Division of the Baltic Sea into 17 sub-basins and further division into coastal and offshore areas).

Agricultural land is the area of arable land (AL), permanent grassland (PG) and permanent crops (PC). Arable land is land cultivated for crop production or fallow land available for cultivation. Permanent grassland Permanent grassland is the area used to grow grasses or other herbaceous forage crops that have been on the same site for more than 5 years, either by self-regulation or by sowing. Permanent grassland may be arable land or natural pasture and meadow. Permanent grassland may not contain more than 50 trees per hectare in a scattered pattern. Trees are considered to be single- or multi-trunked trees and woody shrubs of at least four metres in height. Shrubs of all sizes are also considered as trees. Trees in windbreaks are not counted in the tree count. Deciduous bushes suitable for feeding farm animals and deciduous tree seedlings may be grown on the area if they cover less than half of the area of the eligible plot. More than half (50 %) of the area of the plot must be grass and forage. This requirement also applies to parcels of permanent grassland with trees or deciduous shrubs or both. Permanent crops Permanent crops are crops which are not part of the crop rotation, which are grown for at least 5 years and which produce a repeated harvest. These include fruit trees, berry bushes and ornamental plants. More information: https://www.ruokavirasto.fi/globalassets/tuet/maatalous/oppaat/hakuoppaat/peltotukiopas/maatalousmaa-2024.pdf

Agricultural parcel containing spatial data The agricultural parcels are a year-by-year data set containing the agricultural parcels in the annual aid application. A agricultural parcel is defined as a continuous area of a single reference parcel where a single crop, a mixture of crops or a mixture of crops is grown, set aside or used for a specific purpose. A reference parcel may have one or more agricultural parcels. A agricultural parcel may belong to only one reference parcel. The boundaries of the agricultural parcels, and hence their areas, may vary from year to year within the reference plot. The aim of the definition of valuable data sets (EU) 2023/138 has been to ensure that the most socially potential public data are reusable. The Food Authority is concerned with the theme Spatial data: reference parcels and agricultural parcels From the 2023 data onwards, the Food Authority will add attribute information to the published data as follows: Agricultural parcel containing spatial data - Organic production New field in the data set LUOMUVILJELY = Organic production: 1=absent or 0=no More information: https://www.ruokavirasto.fi/globalassets/tuet/maatalous/oppaat/hakuoppaat/peltotukiopas/peltotukien-hakuopas-2024.pdf

This dataset represents the Integrated biodiversity status assessment for seals (grey seal, harbour seal and ringed seal). Status is shown in five categories based on the integrated assessment scores obtained in the tool. Biological quality ratios (BQR) above 0.6 correspond to good status. The status of the seals was assessed using four core indicators: population trends and abundance of seals, distribution of Baltic seals, nutritional status of seals, and reproductive status of seals. In the latter two only grey seals are considered for the 2018 State of the Baltic Sea report. The assessment is based on the one-out-all-out approach, i.e. the species reflecting the worst status in each assessment unit. This dataset displays the result of the integrated biodiversity status in HELCOM Assessment unit Scale 2 (Division of the Baltic Sea into 17 sub-basins). Attribute information: "HELCOM_ID" = ID of the HELCOM scale 2 assessment unit "level_2" = Name of the HELCOM scale 2 assessment unit "EcosystemC" = Ecosystem component analyzed "BQR" = Biological Quality Ratio "Conf" = Confidence of the assessment "Total_indi" = Number of indicators used "% of area assessed" = Share of the total assessed area "D1CX" = MSFD descriptor 1 criteria X "conf_D1CX" = Confidence for MSFD descriptor criteria X "Confidence" = Conifdence of the assessment ("high"/ "moderate"/ "low") "STATUS" = Status of the assessment (0-0.2 = not good (lowest score), 0.2-0.4 = not good (lower score), 0.4-0.6 = not good (low score), 0.6-0.8 = good (high score, 0.8-1.0 = good (highest score))
