This dataset represents the density of all IMO registered ships operating in the Baltic Sea. Density is defined as the number of ships crossing a 1 x 1km grid cell. It is based on HELCOM AIS (Automatic Identification System) data. The HELCOM AIS network hosts all the AIS signals received by the Baltic Sea States since 2005. The AIS Explorer allows to compare density maps of different ship types per month: http://maps.helcom.fi/website/AISexplorer/ The data was processed to produce density maps and traffic statistics. All scripts are available in GitHub: https://github.com/helcomsecretariat. The production of these maps have been carried out 2016-2017 through the HELCOM project on the assessment of maritime activities in the Baltic Sea. The underlying AIS data processing work has been co-financed by EU projects Baltic Scope (2015-2017 EASME/EMFF/2014/1.2.1.5) and Baltic Lines (2016-2019, Interreg Baltic Sea Region). In addition, the Ministry of the Environment of Finland supported the work with a special contribution in view of the use of the results in the HOLAS II process.

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))

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 1:30 000 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/).

Maanmittauslaitoksen KM2-korkeusmallin kanssa yhteensopiva korkeusmalli, jossa alkuperäisiä korkeusarvoja on alennettu erityisesti virtavesikohteiden (viivamaiset sekä aluemaiset) ja tieverkoston risteyskohdissa. Alennetut korkeusarvot pyrkivät kuvaamaan virtausreittejä, kuten tierumpuja ja putkia, joita alkuperäisessä KM2:ssa ei ole. Aineisto on tuotettu yhdistämällä useita eri valtakunnan kattavia lähtöaineistoja, joita ovat - korkeusmalli KM2 (Maanmittauslaitos) - Siltojen kansien korkeudet (Syke) - Maastotietokanta (Maanmittauslaitos) - DIGIROAD-tieverkosto (Väylävirasto) - Rumpurekisteri (Väylävirasto) Lisäksi jotkin kunnat ja kaupungit ovat digitoineet Maastotietokannasta puuttuvia virtausreittejä. Korkeusarvot ovat ilmoitettu N2000-korkeusjärjestelmässä. Aineisto on avoin (lisenssi CC BY 4.0). Käyttötarkoitus: Korvaamalla KM2:n korkeusarvot uomakorjausaineiston arvoilla saadaan korkeusmalli, joka soveltuu mm. pintaveden virtauksen mallinnukseen alkuperäistä korkeusmallia paremmin. Tämä mahdollistaa esim. hulevesitulvariskien luotettavamman arvioinnin. Aineisto kuuluu SYKEn avoimiin aineistoihin (CC BY 4.0).
