All spatial datasets used and produced by HELCOM in its assessments can be accessed and downloaded from HELCOM Metadata catalogue and viewed in HELCOM Map and Data service.
HELCOM Map and Data service is a graphical user interface containing a table of contents of all spatial datasets made available by HELCOM and relevant to HELCOM work. The service contains many functionalities that could be used when viewing the datasets, e.g. identify and attribute table functionalities. The datasets are grouped into the following services, which contain a number of map layers grouped into categories (group layers):
i) Status assessments: Integrated assessment results, core indicator result maps and underlying datasets.
ii) Monitoring: Assessment units according to HELCOM Monitoring and Assessment Strategy and monitoring stations used in HELCOM Monitoring manual.
iii) Pressures and human activities: Land-based pollution as well as various human activities datasets and aggregated pressure layers used in Baltic Sea Impact and Pressure Index (BSPI and BSII).
iv) Biodiversity: Biodiversity related datasets such as Ecosystem component maps used in Baltic Sea Impact and Pressure Index (BSPI and BSII), HELCOM RED LIST species/biotope distribution maps as well as other biota related datasets.
v) Shipping: Maritime activities related to datasets, including data from HELCOM Maritime assessment such as AIS density maps by ship type.
vi) Background: Background datasets such as rivers, lakes, EEZ as well as Maritime Spatial Planning areas.
All HELCOM datasets are also listed in HELCOM Metadata catalogue, which contains INSPIRE compliant metadata record of the dataset, download functionality (zip package containing shapefile / TIFF), and URL to view the dataset in HELCOM Map and Data service.
