Using similar methods, the INBO started studying the ecology of the Western Marsh Harrier in 2011, an Appendix I species of the European Birds Directive, which Belgian population is in decline. Although the extensive database at present holds more than 90.000 resighting records, emerging habitat use and migration patterns are strongly biased towards more populated areas and locations where the rings can easily be read. In the framework of the Flemish contributions to the LifeWatch infrastructure, a high-tech sensor network was installed (start June 2013) to better monitor the habitat use and migration patterns of large birds, such as the European Herring Gull (Larus argentatus Pontoppidan, 1736), the Lesser Black-backed Gull (Larus fuscus Linnaeus, 1758) and the Western Marsh Harrier (Circus aeruginosus Linnaeus, 1758). The birds are equipped with lightweight, solar powered GPS tags, while antennas and ground stations are installed at the breeding grounds to track the GPS signals.GPS trackingbirdsmigration patternshabitat useEnvironmental monitoring facilitiesurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43262.92955 51.23323.685251 51.448673Lifewatch:lfbirdcamsBirdCam stationsCurrently four BirdCams (3 permanent + 1 mobile) are installed within the Belgian Marine LifeWatch Observatory: (1) At the rooftop of the VLIZ building in Ostend, to observe the nesting behavior of the European Herring Gulls in more detail; (2) At the Spuikom in Ostend, to observe the presence and behavior of water birds, such as the black cormorant, gulls, and several duck species; (3) At the Scheelhoekeilanden in the Dutch Delta area, to study the breeding and feeding ecology of Sandwich Terns; and (4) On the railing of the C-Power windmill WTG I5, located in the windmill farm on the Thorntonbank (Belgian Part of the North Sea), mainly to monitor the VLIZ measuring buoy, but also to investigate whether this BirdCam can be used for the observation of seabirds and marine mammals. The BirdCam at the Scheelhoekeilanden is a mobile set-up and is only installed during the breeding season.webcambirdsobservationpresencenesting behaviorforaging behaviorfeeding behaviorEuropean Herring GullsSandwich TernEnvironmental monitoring facilitiesurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43262.846489 51.1967262.990167 51.5785NorthSea:boeien_vlootBoeien Vloot (2013)boeienvlootlocatieBelgisch Continentaal PlatBCPurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43262.25 51.11249923706053.32783341407776 51.6883354187012MarineRegions:brasdorlakebiospherereserveBras d'Or Lake Biosphere Reserve [foutief]What is the Bras d’Or Lake Biosphere Reserve? It is a UNESCO designated area defined by the watershed of the Bras d'Or lake. It is Canada's 16th biosphere. Biosphere reserves are special places around the world where people are trying to live more sustainably – that means 4 things: a healthy environment a healthy economy a healthy society a healthy culture The Bras d'Or Lake Biosphere Reserve Association is a group of volunteers who have worked to have the Bras d’Or Lake and its watershed designated as a UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Reserve. We now oversee the activities of the Biosphere Reserve. We are a registered society in the province of Nova Scotia. 532 Chebucto St. P.O.

Previous research has shown how the southern Bay of Biscay is particularly affected and the canopy-forming subtidal and intertidal macroalgal assemblages are expected to be replaced by turf-forming Mediterranean-like communities with warmer affinities by the end of the century. The effect of temperature on macroalgal communities could be assesed using thermal metrics that can target temperature effects alone. An example is the Community Temperature Index (CTI) which is an abundance-weighted mean of the species’ optimal temperature. It has been previously used to understand the thermal preferences of different organisms such us birds, fish or invertebrates. This product provides the Community Temperature Index (CTI) of macroalgae intertidal communities from NW Spain. The CTI has been calculated for 18 sites along a longitudinal thermal gradient in NW Spain, two intertidal levels (Low and Mid) and two different years (2011 and 2017). Results are stored in a csv file with the coordinates of each site ("decimalLongitude" and "decimalLatitude" columns), their codes ("Site" and "Intertidal_level" columns), the sampling year ("Year" column) and the mean CTI ("CTI column").featurescti_macroalgae_nw_spainurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::4326-9.249575 42.235177-2.259167 43.629808NorthSea:concessie_thorntonConcessie ThorntonbankThorntonbankwindmolenparkwindmolenconcessieurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43262.952 51.5443.018 51.582NorthSea:concessiezones_201402Concessiezones BCP (Feb2014)concessiezone BCPwindmolenparkwindmolenbarkBelgisch continentaal platBCPurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43262.70500016212463 51.49076461791993.08353614807129 51.739917755127NorthSea:concessiezonesConcession Zones Belgian Continental Shelffeaturesconcessiezonesurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43262.76237392425537 51.48905563354493.08229756355286 51.7105865478516MarineRegions:eez_24nmContiguous Zones (24 NM) (v4, world, 2023)Version 4 of the Contiguous Zones from the VLIZ Maritime Boundaries Geodatabase.

It is intended to represent continental margins worldwide, with the exclusion of the continental shelf. The continental margins have been defined based on bathymetry and expert opinion. The upper margin of the boundary has been set at 140 m depth, which is the average depth of the shelf break, except in Antarctica where the shelf break goes deeper and the upper boundary has been set up at 500 m. The lower boundary has been set at 3500 m depth. Both isobaths were extracted from S2004 Bathymetry (a global bathymetry at 1 arc-minute resolution).

For each profile detailed measurements are made with sedimentation erosion plots as well (reference pole with 16 measurements around it) to statistically detect changes to profiles too. The measurements take place from the toe of the dyke to the low water line. While being measured the profiles are described on morphodynamic features and documented on fixed points with photographs. Granulometry is also determined for microdynamics on those lines.DiepteprofielendieptebathymetrieZeescheldeDepth profilesdepthbathymetrySea Scheldturn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43263.78716958687732 51.00741278056534.56452740337289 51.3638806626292Scheldemonitor:profielen_2009Diepteprofielen Zeeschelde 2009DiepteprofielendieptebathymetrieZeescheldeurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::313003.784 51.0044.268 51.322Scheldemonitor:profielen_2011Diepteprofielen Zeeschelde 2011DiepteprofielendieptebathymetrieZeescheldeurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::313003.783 51.0134.566 51.363Scheldemonitor:profielen_aug2008Diepteprofielen Zeeschelde augustus 2008DiepteprofielendieptebathymetrieZeescheldeurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::313004.242 51.1254.376 51.36Scheldemonitor:profiellijnen_20082009Diepteprofiellijnen Zeeschelde 2008-2009DiepteprofielendieptebathymetrieZeescheldeurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::313003.783 51.0044.376 51.36Kustportaal:toegevwaarde_11Direct added value per seaport (Belgium, 2011-2017)The direct added value in the Flemish ports in euro.

The layer provides a uniform spatial reference for location identification, analysis, data exchange, model results and reporting among project partners. Although primarily intended for use within the SIGMA 3 project, it may also serve as a broader reference layer for applications related to the Scheldt estuary. Distances are calculated from Vlissingen, which is used as the zero point. Reference points were generated at one-kilometre intervals along a thalweg line of the estuary, using the ArcGIS “Generate Points Along Lines” tool. Additional reference points were created for river branches. The endpoints of the layer correspond to the boundaries of the model calculation domain. The attribute table includes Lambert 72 X and Y coordinates, the river segment identifier, the distance to Vlissingen, the distance to the Belgian-Dutch border, and the distance measured from the branching point of the relevant segment. No periodic updates are currently planned.

The maps of the lower Sea Scheldt, upper Sea Scheldt, Rupel and Durme were actualised in 2016. The geomorphologic layer is a polygon map that was actualized in 2016 using ARCGIS, based on 'false colour' imagery from the lower Sea Scheldt (source: nv De Vlaamse Waterweg) and 'true colour' orthoimagery from the upper Sea Scheldt, Rupel and Durme. Because the time at which the images were collected does not precisely match low tide, interpretation of the substrate in low lying areas has also been done based on 'true colour' orthoimagery from march 2017 (source: GDI-Vlaanderen AGIV), as well as field observations and digital height models.ecotopenkaartfysiotopenkaartgeomorfologische kaartZeescheldeabiotische eenhedenrasterhardzachtsubstraatkleigetijdeschordijkvegetatieslikschorrenslikkenEcotope mapphysiotopic mapgeomorphological mapSea Scheldtabiotic unitsgridhardsoftsubstrateclaytidemarshdykevegetationmudsalt marshesmud flatsHabitats and biotopesurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::313703.717037653729885 50.991999591739644.420055651670392 51.37467141474606Scheldemonitor:ecotoop2019Ecotope map (Sea Scheldt, Rupel & Durme, 2019)An ecotope map of the Sea Scheldt, Rupel & Durme for 2019 was created based on two fundamental information layers: a physiotopic map and a geomorphological map.

Within individual ecoregions there will be turnover of species, such as when moving up or down a river system, but taken as a whole an ecoregion will typically have a distinct evolutionary history and/or ecological processes. Ecoregions are delineated based on the best available information, but data describing freshwater species and ecological processes are characterized by marked gaps and variation in quality, and improved information in the future may warrant map revisions.

Monitoring for ecosystem health assessments is currently based on morphological species identification, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and skills reliant. DNA-based tools promise cheaper, faster and more accurate methods, yet, different approaches between countries are used which hamper standard routine application. The Interreg NSR project GEANS, therefore aims to: 1. Develop joint time- and cost-reducing genetic monitoring tools that feed into existing indicators to assess North Sea ecosystem health 2. Implement standardized genetic tools and SOPs in routine biological assessments 3. Develop a framework to apply and implement DNA-based tools in policy and transnational management of the North Sea Region. Set-up of an open DNA sequence library, linking DNA to species, will guarantee continuity of traditional assessment series. Real time pilot studies, in close cooperation with managers, policymakers and involved stakeholders, will deliver proof of concept on the added value of genetic approaches in environmental health management. These pilots cover environmental impact assessments (EIAs) for human activities (renewable energy, aquaculture and aggregate dredging) and environmental monitoring for e.g. non-indigenous species (NIS) in the framework of EU directives (MSFD and Natura2000). The data generated within the different pilots will feed into biotic indicators to translate the outputs into simple information needed by national authorities to make sound management decisions. Sustainable use and management of the North Sea Region (NSR) natural resources remains a grand challenge. The NSR has a rich and diverse natural environment delivering many ecosystem goods and services to society, such as food provision, coastal protection and climate regulation. Stimulated by the EU Blue Growth Agenda, human use of the NS is increasing and diversifying. Both new and existing activities contribute to employment and economic welfare, but they also increase the pressure on the marine environment, thereby threatening ecosystem health (e.g. transport, renewable energy, exploitation of living and mineral resources, introduction of non-indigenous species). To conserve and improve NSR ecosystem health, proper management measures need to be taken, which depend on fast and accurate monitoring.

Monitoring for ecosystem health assessments is currently based on morphological species identification, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and skills reliant. DNA-based tools promise cheaper, faster and more accurate methods, yet, different approaches between countries are used which hamper standard routine application. The Interreg NSR project GEANS, therefore aims to: 1. Develop joint time- and cost-reducing genetic monitoring tools that feed into existing indicators to assess North Sea ecosystem health 2. Implement standardized genetic tools and SOPs in routine biological assessments 3. Develop a framework to apply and implement DNA-based tools in policy and transnational management of the North Sea Region. Set-up of an open DNA sequence library, linking DNA to species, will guarantee continuity of traditional assessment series. Real time pilot studies, in close cooperation with managers, policymakers and involved stakeholders, will deliver proof of concept on the added value of genetic approaches in environmental health management. These pilots cover environmental impact assessments (EIAs) for human activities (renewable energy, aquaculture and aggregate dredging) and environmental monitoring for e.g. non-indigenous species (NIS) in the framework of EU directives (MSFD and Natura2000). The data generated within the different pilots will feed into biotic indicators to translate the outputs into simple information needed by national authorities to make sound management decisions. Sustainable use and management of the North Sea Region (NSR) natural resources remains a grand challenge. The NSR has a rich and diverse natural environment delivering many ecosystem goods and services to society, such as food provision, coastal protection and climate regulation. Stimulated by the EU Blue Growth Agenda, human use of the NS is increasing and diversifying. Both new and existing activities contribute to employment and economic welfare, but they also increase the pressure on the marine environment, thereby threatening ecosystem health (e.g. transport, renewable energy, exploitation of living and mineral resources, introduction of non-indigenous species). To conserve and improve NSR ecosystem health, proper management measures need to be taken, which depend on fast and accurate monitoring.

The division has been based on the prevailing role of physical forcing as a regulator of phytoplankton distribution. The dataset contains the initial static boundaries developed at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography, Canada. Note that the boundaries of these provinces are not fixed in time and space, but are dynamic and move under seasonal and interannual changes in physical forcing. At the first level of reduction, Longhurst recognised four principal biomes: the Polar biome, the Westerlies biome, the Trade winds biome, and the Coastal biome. These four biomes are recognised in every major ocean basin. At the next level of reduction, the ocean basins are divided into provinces, roughly ten for each basin. These regions provide a template for data analysis or for making parameter assignments on a global scale.

They refer to the lithological unit and the terminology reflects the grain size of the sediment. Drifts refer to the same sedimentary unit as a contourite, but the word 'drift' reflects the morphological appearance of the sedimentary unit. Their terminology reflects the external shape, and the internal shape, which is determined by seismography. If drifts are clustered into a local area of certain size, we call the clustered sediment group a Contourite Depositional System (CDS). These sedimentary units are generally, but not exclusively, found in the deep sea (>2000m depth). They are a useful tool for determining paleoceanic and paleoclimatic changes, since their distribution is linked to bottom currents. They have gained interest from the hydrocarbon industry, since accumulation of source rocks may be influenced by bottom currents. Slope instability is also an area of interest for further research. Source methodology: For acquisition of the resulting information, several hundreds of papers on the relevant subject were read. Firstly, abstracts, introductions and conclusions were read for a general view on the article. Then further reading on the relevant chapters provided the presented information. In 2013, 166 records with the place type Drift were added to the Marine Gazetteer. These are linked to one of the 24 Contourite Depositional Systems, if they make part of such a system. Each drift is also influenced by a water mass or current. This water mass or current determines the sedimentation, erosion and movements of these sediments. In 2014, the list was extended with 81 records of the place type Drift. No Contourite Depositional Systems were added. The search process was identical to 2013, only this time a summary paper was the starting point (Rebesco et al., 2014). In this publication, the major drifts were listed with their most relevant sources along with them. These listed sources were then sought after and read. Not all papers were accessible at the time of this process, and thus it is advised to read these publications in the future as well.contouritecontouritessedimentlithologycontourite depositional systemcdsdriftGeologyurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::4326-59.616096496582 -58.9154663085938172.88249206543 65.8052368164062Kustportaal:overheidsuitgaven_13Government spending per seaport (Belgium, 1989-2020)Government spending in Flemish ports in euro.

These are implemented under the form of long lasting projects by different research centers and universities spread over the country and supported by each respective political authority. The Flemish contributions to LifeWatch are coordinated by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ, marine part) and the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO, freshwater and terrestrial part). This Flemish LifeWatch consortium is funded through FWO (Research Foundation Flanders/Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek) (formerly through the Hercules Foundation). In the framework of LifeWatch, the Wallonia-Brussels Federation is financing a collaborative research program between scientists of the Earth and Life Institute (Université catholique de Louvain) and the Biosystems Engineering Department (Université de Liège/Gembloux-ABT). The Federal contribution to LifeWatch is coordinated by the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (RBINS), in collaboration with the Royal Museum for Central Africa (RMCA). The federal authority also supports the Belgian Biodiversity Platform to set-up and animate a LifeWatch scientific node. The federal contributions are funded by Belspo. Belspo will also fund the Belgian contribution to the LifeWatch ERIC.BelgianLifeWatchPartnersFlemishWalloonFederalAddressesurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43262.9309041 50.5340714.717675 51.2324737Lifewatch:lfmonitoringstationsLifeWatch Stations - Monthly and seasonal stationsA grid of 9 LifeWatch stations is orientated along an east-west gradient and covers the coastal zone.

A lithological map is created through the processing and classification of multibeam backscatter data (Flemish Hydrography) and coupling the backscatter classes to the analysis results of the sediment samples. The map is divided into the following classes: sand, sludgy sand, sandy sludge, sludge, hard soil by clay and hard soil by gravel.lithologischekaartfeaturesurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43264.2137598991394 51.11806106567384.40183162689209 51.3816375732422Lifewatch:groundwaterloggersLocation GPRS loggers groundwater monitoring (INBO, Flanders)Fluctuations in groundwater levels are a determining factor for the sustainability of habitats. Therefore, the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO) has set up the WATINA network, a monitoring network of over 9000 groundwater wells in Natura 2000 areas in Flanders. However, this assignment is hampered by factors such as accessibility of the terrain and manpower. Therefore, in the framework of LifeWatch, the INBO is now extending its monitoring techniques by using devices that can expose the groundwater levels real-time without the need for any manual intervention, and thereby reducing the risk of data loss when severe issues occur. These groundwater loggers with a GPRS modem (GPRS loggers) use an internal modem and a SIM card to send the data over the mobile network and they are employed in inaccessible areas with specific issues such as military domains or flood plains. Currently, 35 GPRS loggers are deployed, distributed across Flanders.groundwater levelNatura 2000habitatWATINAinaccessible terrainloggerGPRS modemEnvironmental monitoring facilitiesurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43263.26729989051819 50.80725097656255.83270025253296 51.3627510070801Morocco:locationsLocation of Al Hoceima, Ajdir, El Hadid, Imzouren, and Bni BouayachLocations; Al Hoceima CASE - PEGASOprojectlocationsfeaturesurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::4326-3.93141746520996 35.1014862060547-3.76782011985779 35.243480682373Scheldemonitor:moneos_monitoring_linesMONEOS monitoring (lines, Scheldt, 2009-2016)MONEOS monitoring activities in the Schelde represented as trajects (lines)urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43263.53327007395 51.00466849941264.40712615964731 51.4518072421672Scheldemonitor:moneos_monitoring_pointsMONEOS monitoring (points, Scheldt, 2009-2016)MONEOS monitoring activities in the Schelde represented as stations (points)urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43263.1635 50.93722803344.74237 51.65861111Scheldemonitor:moneos_monitoring_polygonsMONEOS monitoring (polygons, Scheldt, 2009-2016)MONEOS monitoring activities in the Schelde represented as polygonsurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43263.16667000204325 50.99264.67025185376406 51.5797067364663MSP_BPNS:rd20190522_art8_3_zone4MSP 2020-2026: Area for renewable energy (windfarms, Fairybank, Belgian part of North Sea, 2019)MSP 2020-2026 Area for renewable energy (windfarms, Fairybank) Source: Koninklijk besluit tot vaststelling van het marien ruimtelijk plan voor de periode van 2020 tot 2026 in de Belgische zeegebieden, Belgisch Staatsblad, 19 juli 2019.featuresrd20190522_art8_3_zone4urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43262.30282187461853 51.36871337890622.55757808685303 51.5277862548828MSP_BPNS:rd20190522_art8_2_zone2MSP 2020-2026: Area for renewable energy (windfarms, Noordhinder north, Belgian part of North Sea, 2019)MSP 2020-2026 Area for renewable energy (windfarms, Noordhinder north) Source: Koninklijk besluit tot vaststelling van het marien ruimtelijk plan voor de periode van 2020 tot 2026 in de Belgische zeegebieden, Belgisch Staatsblad, 19 juli 2019.rd20190522_art8_2_zone2featuresurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43262.47188520431519 51.5877609252932.60954809188843 51.6694412231445MSP_BPNS:rd20190522_art8_3_zone3MSP 2020-2026: Area for renewable energy (windfarms, Noordhinder south, Belgian part of North Sea, 2019)MSP 2020-2026 Area for renewable energy (windfarms, Noordhinder south) Source: Koninklijk besluit tot vaststelling van het marien ruimtelijk plan voor de periode van 2020 tot 2026 in de Belgische zeegebieden, Belgisch Staatsblad, 19 juli 2019.featuresrd20190522_art8_3_zone3urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43262.34483051300049 51.47691345214842.57766962051392 51.5650024414062MSP_BPNS:rd20190522_art8_1_zone1MSP 2020-2026: Area for renewable energy (windfarms, east zone, Belgian part of North Sea, 2019)MSP 2020-2026 Area for renewable energy (windfarms, east zone) Source: Koninklijk besluit tot vaststelling van het marien ruimtelijk plan voor de periode van 2020 tot 2026 in de Belgische zeegebieden, Belgisch Staatsblad, 19 juli 2019.featuresrd20190522_art8_1_zone1urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43262.70311212539673 51.48823165893553.08443784713745 51.7411689758301MSP_BPNS:rd20190522_art23_1_zoneaMSP 2020-2026: Commercial and industrial areas (zone A, Belgian part of North Sea, 2020)Source: marineatlas.befeaturesrd20190522_art23_1_zoneaurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43262.43218469619751 51.21889114379882.55658197402954 51.3082313537598MSP_BPNS:rd20190522_art23_1_zonebMSP 2020-2026: Commercial and industrial areas (zone B, Belgian part of North Sea, 2020)Source: marineatlas.befeaturesrd20190522_art23_1_zoneburn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43262.53358101844788 51.22460556030272.62392377853394 51.2848739624023MSP_BPNS:rd20190522_art23_1_zonecMSP 2020-2026: Commercial and industrial areas (zone C, Belgian part of North Sea, 2020)Source: marineatlas.befeaturesrd20190522_art23_1_zonecurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43262.62217092514038 51.16254806518552.67433094978333 51.1862373352051MSP_BPNS:rd20190522_art23_1_zonedMSP 2020-2026: Commercial and industrial areas (zone D, Belgian part of North Sea, 2020)Source: marineatlas.befeaturesrd20190522_art23_1_zonedurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43262.89273571968079 51.2764816284182.9966344833374 51.3239402770996MSP_BPNS:rd20190522_art23_1_zoneeMSP 2020-2026: Commercial and industrial areas (zone E, Belgian part of North Sea, 2020)Source: marineatlas.befeaturesrd20190522_art23_1_zoneeurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43263.08173894882202 51.44560623168953.19842791557312 51.5121307373047World:mangrovesMangrove forests distributions of the worldFrom: Giri, C. et al.

It is the first ever comprehensive marine classification system with clearly defined boundaries and definitions and was developed to closely link to existing regional systems. The ecoregions nest within the broader biogeographic tiers of Realms and Provinces. MEOW represents broad-scale patterns of species and communities in the ocean, and was designed as a tool for planning conservation across a range of scales and assessing conservation efforts and gaps worldwide. The current system focuses on coast and shelf areas (as this is where the majority of human activity and conservation action is focused) and does not consider realms in pelagic or deep benthic environment. It is hoped that parallel but distinct systems for pelagic and deep benthic biotas will be devised in the near future. The project was led by The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), with broad input from a working group representing key NGO, academic and intergovernmental conservation partners. (source: WWF - Marine Ecoregions of the World) Note: The inland boundaries of the ecoregions extend far inland - a convention to ensure inclusion of any coastline and estuarine/lagoonal systems which may be derived from different map sources. For visualisations in the Marine Regions gazetteer, the areas inland have been removed from the shapefile. References: Spalding, M. D. Fox, H. E. Allen, G. R. Davidson, N. Ferdana, Z. A.

The process of collecting and taking this munition to temporary storage locations gave rise to some extremely dangerous situations. Because the situation was gradually becoming untenable and it was still too risky to disarm and dispose of the munition, the Belgian government decided in late 1919 to dump it all at sea. Every day for a six-month period a ship's hold of munition was dumped on the shallow coastal sandbank just off Knokke-Heist, known as the "Paardenmarkt". Soon after that the muition dump would be forgotten. But when an area east of the port of Zeebrugge was dredged in 1971 they found munition and poisonous gas shells at 17 locations. Since the munition had been partially covered by a thin layer of sediment, its condition was reported as "remarkably good".

As of that point the area was displayed on the hydrographic maps as a pentagonal zone covering some 3 km², in which it was forbidden to fish or drop anchor.urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43263.238166667 51.351166673.277 51.36833333HistorischeKaarten:paleo3500Paleogeografische reconstructie 3500 jaar geledenMap made by De Clercq, Maikel (RCMG, Ugent) in the ° century.

The data availability could be assessed by determining the number of samples (/observations) of each ecosystem component taken (/made) in each subzone. If certain assessment questions could not be answered due to a lack of available data, this should be noted, because this could seriously lower the reliability of the resulting biological valuation. This can easily be done by looking at the number of assessment questions that could be answered for each subzone in relation to the maximum amount of questions answered for a subzone. Such quality labels should also be consulted by anyone using the biological valuation maps. Attaching such ‘reliability labels’ also helps identifying knowledge gaps, which could direct scientific research in the future.marinebirdscharacteristicsindicatorsmacrobenthossediment compositionANEBelgiumBelgian Continental Shelf (BCS)biologyvaluation mapBelgian Continental Shelfseabirdsepibenthosdemersal fishdemersalfishBelgian Science Policy (BELSPO)Onderzoeksdomein VisserijUniversiteit GentOnderzoeksgroep Mariene Biologie (MARBIOL)Renard Centre of Marine Geology (RCMG)Vlaams Instituut voor de Zee (VLIZ)Vlaamse overheid; Beleidsdomein LeefmilieuNatuur en Energie; Instituut voor Natuur- en Bosonderzoek (INBO)GISmapsdatalowhighvaluation questionsHabitats and biotopesurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::326312.2304151483662813 51.0873439299001653.361533764039047 51.800156113285254NorthSea:wmp_rentelRentel turbinesRentellocatie turbinesturbineswindmolenparkwindmolensurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43262.89071926124701 51.56404149690993.00096847606201 51.6180965602702Morocco:riversRivers of the Al Hoceima AreaRivers; Al Hoceima CASE - PEGASOprojectfeaturesriversPEGASOAl HoceimaMoroccoTazaTaounateurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::4326-4.00063323974609 35.0719757080078-3.80200266838074 35.2023544311523Emodnet:cprgridSAHFOS CPR standard areasCPR standard areas are pre-defined areas used historically within the Continuous Plankton Recorder Survey.

Reference for the data set: "polygon data set of the extent of water bodies from the SeaVoX Salt and Fresh Water Body Gazetteer, http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/C19/current/". The data file follows a hierarchical structure with each region consisting of one or more polygons. This approach was adopted to avoid the need to have overlapping polygons in regions where a sea area included a number of sub-regions, for example the Mediterranean Sea includes the Aegean Sea, Ionian Sea etc. The following gives the level in the structure at which particular regions, which consist of more than one polygon can be found. This level in the structure is given by the polygon's attributes.

This makes the development of management tools necessary, where species distribution models (SDMs) play a crucial role. SDMs can help in the early detection of invasions and predict the extent of the potential spread. However, modelling non-native marine species distributions is still challenging in terms of model building, evaluation and selection. This product aims to predict the European distribution of four widespread introduced seaweed species selecting the best model building process.featureskuenm_modelsurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::4326-35.95833 15.0416742.875 83.70833World:stlawrenceestuarySt Lawrence EstuaryEl-Sabh, MI, N Silverberg (eds) Oceanography of a large-scale estuarine system, the St. Lawrence.

Falkenmark and Z. Mikulski (HELCOM 1986). Both map projection and scale are unknown. Independent measurements indicate a scale of approximately 1:5,000,000. Two additional maps were used to provide more accurate delineations in the Danish Straits and Kattegat sub- regions. These paper maps were also of unknown scale and projection. The Digital Chart of the World (DCW) by ESRI was used for spatial positioning when joining all data sets. These map sources identified 81 sub-basins, which can be aggregated to seven major watersheds for the following major water bodies that define the Baltic Sea: Bothnian Bay, Bothnian Sea, Gulf of Finland, Gulf of Riga, the Baltic Proper, Danish Straits, and the Kattegat. The main Baltic Sea drainage basin map was digitised and transformed in three separate sections using PC ARC/INFO. The Root Mean Square (RMS) error ranged between 0.01 and 0.02. Four sub- basins from the Danish Straits and nine from the Kattegat paper maps were digitised. The RMS errors were 0.01 and 0.06, respectively. All sections were joined together using the APPEND command. Although some RMS errors were high, the final drainage basin data set lines up well with other coverages in the database. The coverage was edited for dangling arcs and label errors. When the editing process was complete, topology was created using the CLEAN command with a 20 meter fuzzy tolerance and dangle length. All polygons were assigned unique id's before attribute data was added. An item called SUBID was added to the coverages .PAT file. This value represents the sub-basin or water body for which each polygon belongs. SUBID served as a bridge item to join additional attributes that existed in an EXCEL spreadsheet. Individual SUBIDs were assigned by selecting polygon label points in ARCEDIT and CALCing SUBID to be the correct value. Extensive error checking was performed before all other attribute data was appended. In addition to the added item SUBID, 21 other attributes were appended to the cover .PAT file. These attributes originated from (a) and database of monthly loads of land based eutrophying substances (Stalnache, 1994), (b) data extracted from the Land Cover data set, and (c) data extracted from the Population Distribution data set. The final BASINS coverage has a total of 26 attributes, including the four automatically generated by ARC/INFO. Supplier: GRID-Arendal. PO Box 1602, Myrene.

However, when mapping taxon distribution, it is also important where the taxon did not occur: there is at least as much information in absences as in presences. Inferring absences from presence-only databases is difficult and always involves some guesswork. In this product we have used as much meta-information as possible to guide us in inferring absences. There is important meta-information at two different levels: the level of the data set, and the level of the taxon. Datasets can contain implicit information on absences when they have uniformly searched for the same taxon over a number of sample locations. Normally, if the taxon would have been present there, it would have been recorded. Other datasets, however, are not informative at all about absences. Typical examples are museum collections. The fact that a specimen is found at a particular place confirms that it lived there, but does not give information on any other taxon being present or absent in the same spot. A difficulty is that some datasets have searched for a restricted part of the total community, e.g. only sampled shellfish but no worms. In this case, absence of a shellfish taxon is relevant, but absence of a worm is not. The dataset can only be used to infer absence for the taxa it has targeted. Here we implicitly assume that a dataset inventorying the endomacrobenthos, is targeting all taxa belonging to this functional group. Usually, the distinction can be made on the basis of the metadata. It is also helpful to plot the total number of taxa versus the total number of samples. Incomplete datasets have far less taxa than expected for their size, compared to 'complete' datasets. At the taxon level, taxonomic registers such as WoRMS (WoRMS Editorial Board, 2021) give information on the functional group the taxon belongs to. This information is present for many taxa, but it is most likely incomplete. The size of the register excludes any easy test of completeness of the traits. However, even if incomplete, the register trait data can be used to select the most useful datasets. If one were to use an incomplete register directly to restrict the taxa to be used in mapping, that would cause loss of interesting information. Therefore the present workflow contains additional steps using the identified promising datasets rather than the taxon list based on the register’s traits.featuresbenthos_europeurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::4326-10.1070003509521 51.435199737548816.8089694976807 58.0088195800781WoRMS:surinislandsSurin islandsfeaturessurinislandsurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::432697.8288830520112 9.364986658107897.9062688354384 9.47912406882068NorthSea:swalesSwales of the Southern Bight of the North Seaswales of the southern bight of the north seaswalessouthern bighturn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43262.165 51.1014.06 51.89Europe:se_lanSwedish Provinces (Län)Europe Level 1 Provinces represents the first level (or highest level available) subnational administrative units Sweden.Europese_lanurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::432610.958 55.33724.167 69.059NorthSea:ankerplaatsTBD - Ankerplaatsen NoordzeeNoordzeeAnkelplaatsenurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43262.557 51.3942.669 51.428Scheldemonitor:sm_gemeentenTBD - Gemeenten (selectie)gemeentenoppervlakteafbakeningurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43263.331 50.7215.262 51.775Scheldemonitor:nl_habitatTBD - Habitatrichtlijngebieden 2009 - Nederlandhabitathabitatrichtlijnenbeschermde oppervlaktenNatura 2000Nederlandurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::289922.681 50.7297.32 55.657Scheldemonitor:nopsenlTBD - NOPSE Westerschelde (2003, SigmaPlan 2005)NOPSENatuurontwikkelingsplan Schelde-estuariumScheldeestuariumnatuurontwikkelingsplanurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43263.371 51.2784.263 51.55Scheldemonitor:nopsevlTBD - NOPSE Zeeschelde (2003, SigmaPlan 2005)NOPSENatuurontwikkelingsplan Schelde-estuariumScheldeestuariumnatuurontwikkelingsplanurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43263.721 50.9775.037 51.378Scheldemonitor:sm_provinciesTBD - Provincies (selectie)provinciesoppervlaktebelgiëurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43263.331 50.7215.262 51.773Scheldemonitor:nl_vogelTBD - Vogelrichtlijngebieden (NL) 2009vogelvogelrichtlijnenbeschermde oppervlaktenNatura 2000Nederlandurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::289923.143 51.1237.225 53.583NorthSea:coastline_2006TBD_Coastline 2006kustlijnbelgienoordzeeurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43262.536 51.0873.384 51.381NorthSea:zandbanken_mumm_metnaamTBD_Zandbanken (Noordzee)zandbankennoordzeemorfodynamiekBelgisch platurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43262.23867154121399 51.11474990844733.43155813217163 51.7035217285156TDWG:level2TDWG (Taxonomic Database Working Group), level 2In setting out to establish standards for data fields in botanical databases, the International Working Group on Taxonomic Databases for Plant Sciences (TDWG) identified at an early stage of its existence a need for an agreed system of geographical units at approximately “country” level and upwards for use in recording plant distributions.

This product only uses species-level records, and only uses sampling events where the full macrobenthic community was surveyed (i.e. where there are no 'NA' values in the presence/absence dataset for any species). Six time periods are considered, based on data availability: before 1990, 1990-1999, 2000-2004, 2005-2009, 2010-2014, and 2015 and after. A 1 degree grid is used to obtain reasonable numbers of repeat samples per grid cell. The code below could be adapted to set different time periods and/or a different grid resolution. This readme describes the product structure, including the workflow to generate the required derived datasets and the process for turning them into gridded maps of community turnover.all_diversity_measuresfeaturesurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::4326-33.0 28.044.0 79.0World:tnc_terr_eco_realmsTerrestrial ecoregions (TNC)Developed originally by Olson, D. M. and E. Dinerstein (2002), Bailey (1995) and Environment Canada (Wiken, 1986), these data layers were modified by The Nature Conservancy (TNC) to be used in its Biodiversity Planning exercises in the process known as Ecoregional Assessments. Several Ecoregions were modified from the originals by TNC staff developing the aforementioned assessments. The modifications are based on ecological, bio-physical and political rationales; most changes are noted in the accompanying documentation (attributes). Ecoregions in Canada and Mexico were modified mainly at the border with US territory, where TNC modified-Bailey (1995) ecoregions crossed over the country boundaries and the Olson, D. M. and E. Dinerstein (2002) and (Wiken, 1986) were replaced where the TNC modified-Bailey (1995) overlayed them.

They are relatively large regions of 200,000 km2 or greater, the natural boundaries of which are based on four ecological criteria: bathymetry, hydrography, productivity, and trophically related populations. The theory, measurement, and modeling relevant to monitoring the changing states of LMEs are imbedded in reports on ecosystems with multiple steady states, and on the pattern formation and spatial diffusion within ecosystems. The concept that critical processes controlling the structure and function of biological communities can best be addressed on a regional basis has been applied to the ocean by using LMEs as the distinct units for marine resources assessment, monitoring, and management.downloadable dataLarge Marine EcosystemLMElinked watershedsbiotaboundariesenvironmentoceansplanning cadastreStatistical unitsurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::4326-181.800018310547 -86.3476333618164181.800003051758 90.8773498535156Antarctica:marbin_antThe Antarctic region (Marbin)The Antarctic region (Southern Ocean s.s. or “Antarctic Ocean”), i.e. the water masses extending south of the Polar Front (formerly known as the Antarctic Convergence) to the coasts of the Antarctic continent. - True northern limit: Antarctic Polar Front (or Antarctic Convergence, 48°S to 63°S, convenient average limit: 55°S). - Operational northern limits for data trawling: South Atlantic: - Between 60°W and 50°W: 57°S - Between 50°W and 30°E: 50°S Indian Ocean: - Between 30°E and 80°E: 50°S - Between 80°E and 150°E: 55°S South Pacific: - Between 150°E and 60°W: 60°S Used for SCAR-MarBIN - RAMSRAMSAntarcticPolar fronturn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::4326-180.0 -90.0180.0 -48.0Morocco:nekor_and_ghis_plainThe Nekor and Ghis Plain along the Nekor and Ghis riversNekor and Ghis Plain; Al Hoceima CASE - PEGASOprojectnekor_and_ghis_plainfeaturesurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::4326-3.90237665176392 35.0903701782227-3.76219797134399 35.2290191650391MarineRegions:eez_ihoThe intersect of the Exclusive Economic Zones and IHO areas (v5)The maritime boundaries provide a useful tool to limit national marine areas, but do not include information on marine regional and sub regional seas.

For convenience, these are called "neighbourhoods". For each neighbourhood, a score was calculated for each dimension (demography, housing, education and unemployment). These dimension scores are than used to carry out a analysis of the socio-economic deprivation. Analogously with the socio-economic deprivation atlas of Kesteloot, a threshold value of 15% was used. In concrete terms: for each dimension of socio-economic deprivation (demography, housing, education and job-seekers), the 1,297 neighbourhoods are ranked from high to low. For this purpose, the dimension scores were used. The threshold value for each dimension is thus obtained by taking the value at which 15% of all neighbourhoods have a higher value than this threshold value. In order to determine whether or not a neighbourhood can be described as vulnerable, we state that all neighbourhoods that have exceeded the threshold values on 3 or 4 of the dimensions can be considered potentially disadvantaged.kansarmoedekansarme buurtenWest-Vlaanderensocio-economischPopulation distribution and demographyurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::43262.57963871955872 50.76406097412113.45707964897156 51.3565063476562Europe:europeurbanUrban areas (Europe, 2008)Spread of major urban areas in Europe.polygonurbanized areascitiescapitalsWorldAdministrative unitsurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::4326-22.008 28.08764.117 69.903Kustportaal:benuttingsgraad_38Utilisation rate (Belgian coastal area, 2016)Share (%) of non-residential properties.

These mappings are done by both classic methods and remote sensing techniques. Classic methods use false colour IR aerial images to distinguish vegetation units, which receive a specific type based on the physiognomic system of dominant structural and species-related features. Remote sensing techniques use hyperspectral images. Here, a classification is made based on the properties of the pixels, which results in a typology to which different vegetation types can be connected. This connection is aided by collected ground data. The overhead flights are preferably done in August or September.vegetatiediversiteitspreidingoppervlaktevegetatietypetypeschorrekarteringIRinfraroodeengeidremote sensinghyperspectraal beeldclassificatiepixelsgrond datasoortenpolygonenLand coverurn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::313704.192695615116608 51.1129601392853064.415491504989494 51.378763148141736Scheldemonitor:vegetatie_1995_mergedVegetation map (Sieperda, Zwin & Zwin Polder, 1995)This map illustrates the created vegetation map, based on aerial photographs and fieldwork, of the areas "Verdronken Zwarte Polder" and "Zwin" along the Zeeuws-Flemish coast.

On the basis of this new reference level, subzones within the control zones are delineated where this level has globally been reached or exceeded. These will be closed for exploitation as of 1 January 2026. Each year, these zones will be re-evaluated and, if necessary, adjusted. The area THBREF has been closed for exploitation since 1 October 2010 and serves as a reference area for biological monitoring. Sectors 3a and 3b are alternately open for exploitation. Currently, sector 3b is used as an unloading quay. This will remain the case until the area has become too shallow for dredgers who are used for maintenance dredging or until another economic or ecological criterion encourages the government to relocate this quay.
