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 multiscale dataset includes EMODnet seabed substrate maps at a scale of 1:1 500, 1:5 000, 1:10 000, 1:15 000, 1:20 000, 1:25 000, 1:30 000, 1:45 000, 1: 50 000, 1:60 000, 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/). The material has been developed for the decision-making, research and large-scale marine spatial planning. The material is produced on 1:25 000, 1: 50 000, 1: 100 000, 1: 250 000 and 1: 1 000 000 scales. It describes the seabed substrate at a general level only, and is not suitable for a detailed analysis. The data tells the seabed substrate composition from the seabed surface to 30 cm depth in the sediment column.

National classifications are harmonized 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. The data has been generalized into target scales of 1: 50 000, 1:100 000, 1: 250 000 and 1: 1 000 000. The smallest cartographic units within the dataset are 0.01 km2 (1 hectare), 0.05 km2 (5 hectares) 0.3 km (30 hectares) and 4 km2, respectively. The restricted areas have been removed from the material. Seabed substrate multiscale consists of data layers in multiple scales compiled in three subsequent EMODnet geology projects running since 2009. For this multiscale product attribute tables were unified following the schema implemented in the EMODnet 3 Geology.
