UWWTD Discharge Points, Jan. 2022 is one of the datasets produced within the frame of the reporting under 11th UWWTD Art.15 reporting period (UWWTD data call 2019). The Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD) (91/271/EEC) obliges Member States to report data on the implementation of the Directive upon request from the European Commission bi-annually. Reported data include receiving areas as designated under UWWTD, agglomerations, urban waste water treatment plants serving the agglomerations and points of discharges. Dataset UWWTD_DischargePoints contains information on individual points of discharge from urban waste water treatment plants or collecting systems, including their coordinates of discharge, link to specific treatment plant, type of receiving area into which the effluent / wastewater is discharged, related waterbody (or river basin), information on the discharge on land and potential reuse of the treated waste water. This dataset includes the reported discharge points which are displayed on the UWWTD maps (https://www.eea.europa.eu/themes/water/european-waters/water-use-and-environmental-pressures/uwwtd/interactive-maps/urban-waste-water-treatment-maps-3). The active discharge points with correct coordinates in the reported data were selected from the source European UWWTD tabular dataset, which is available on the download link https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/waterbase-uwwtd-urban-waste-water-treatment-directive-7. The definition of the UWWTD Discharge Points dataset attributes (fields) is available on the link https://dd.eionet.europa.eu/datasets/latest/UWWTDArt15/tables/DischargePoints The full (internal) dataset including inactive discharge points is available under "Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive, Discharge points reported under UWWTD data call 2019 - INTERNAL VERSION, Jan. 2022". In comparison to the previous version (Nov. 2020), late redeliveries and corrections provided by several countries during 2021 are included in current revision. Next, the dataset is provided in GeoPackage and ESRI File geodatabase formats instead of shapefile used up to now, to avoid truncation of attribute names.

The raster dataset represents fishing intensity (kilowatt per fishing hour) by pelagic towed gears in the European seas. The dataset has been derived from Automatic Identification System (AIS) based pelagic fishing intensity data received from the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre - Independent experts of the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (JRC STECF), as well as from Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) and logbook based pelagic fishing effort data from HELCOM Commission. The temporal extent varies between the data sources (between 2013 and 2015). The dataset has been transformed to a logarithmic scale (ln1). This dataset has been prepared for the calculation of the combined effect index, produced for the ETC/ICM Report 4/2019 "Multiple pressures and their combined effects in Europe's seas" available on: https://www.eionet.europa.eu/etcs/etc-icm/etc-icm-report-4-2019-multiple-pressures-and-their-combined-effects-in-europes-seas-1.

The dataset presents the potential combined effects of sea-based pressures on marine species and habitats estimated using the method for assessment of cumulative effects, for the entire suite of pressures and a selected set of marine species groups and habitats by an index (Halpern et al. 2008). The spatial assessment of combined effects of multiple pressures informs of the risks of human activities on the marine ecosystem health. The methodology builds on the spatial layers of pressures and ecosystem components and on an estimate of ecosystem sensitivity through an expert questionnaire. The raster dataset consists of a division of the Europe's seas in 10km and 100 km grid cells, which values represents the combined effects index values for pressures caused by sea-based human activities. The relative values indicate areas where the pressures potentially affect the marine ecosystem. This dataset underpins the findings and cartographic representations published in the report "Marine Messages" (EEA, 2020).

The raster dataset represents bycatch fishing intensity (kilowatt per fishing hour) from bottom touching mobile gears in the European seas. The dataset has been derived from Automatic Identification System (AIS) based demersal fishing intensity data received from the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre - Independent experts of the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (JRC STECF) as well as Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) and logbook based demersal fishing intensity data downloaded from from OSPAR and HELCOM Commissions. The temporal extent varies between the data sources (between 2014 and 2017). OSPAR and HELCOM data superseded the JRC STECF data where they overlapped spatially. The cell values have been transformed into a logarithmic scale (ln1). This dataset has been prepared for the calculation of the combined effect index, produced for the ETC/ICM Report 4/2019 "Multiple pressures and their combined effects in Europe's seas" available on: https://www.eionet.europa.eu/etcs/etc-icm/etc-icm-report-4-2019-multiple-pressures-and-their-combined-effects-in-europes-seas-1.

This data set presents the resulting assessment grid (based on the EEA reference grid) with the classification of chemical status of the transitional, coastal and marine waters in the context of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), providing a mapping of contamination 'problem areas' and 'non-problem areas' based on measurements of biological effects. This classification has been performed using the CHASE+ tool, with classifications of the of contaminant status of indicators of biological effects. The status is evaluated in five classes, where NPAhigh and NPAgood are recognised as ‘non-problem areas’ and PAmoderate, PApoor and PAbad are recognised as ‘problem areas’. Monitoring biological effects is restricted to a few indicators (e.g. imposex) and data coverage is currently limited. Biological effects have thus been addressed in only 134 assessment units, mostly in the Baltic Sea, the North Sea and the North-East Atlantic Ocean. This data set underpins the findings and cartographic representations published in the EEA report “Contaminants in Europe’s seas” (No 25/2018). See the mentioned report for further information.

Les préfets de chaque territoire définissent par arrêté préfectoral le classement des zones conchylicoles pour l’année N sur la base de la qualité REMI de l’année N-1 mais aussi de critères de qualité chimique suivis et évalués par le Réseau d’Observation de la Contamination Chimique du littoral (ROCCH). La classe retenue par arbitrage préfectoral peut différer de la qualité déterminée par le REMI, sur la base d’une décision de la commission départementale de suivi sanitaire des zones de production. La composition précise de cette commission est elle-même définie par arrêté préfectoral et peut varier considérablement d’un département à l’autre, même si elle comporte systématiquement des élus locaux, des directeurs de services territoriaux, un représentant de l’Ifremer et des représentants des professionnels. Les critères permettant ces décisions de classement par la commission ne sont pas disponibles au public et ne sont a priori pas basés exclusivement sur des données scientifiques. Dans ce classement, différentes classes de qualité sont retrouvées : A, A/B, B, B provisoire, B/C, C et N (ou Non classée). Les classes de qualité A/B et B/C désignent des zones en classement alternatif, c’est-à-dire des zones présentant visiblement une saisonnalité marquée de ses résultats de surveillance. Les classements préfectoraux sont publiés par zones, de ce fait il n’y a pas de différenciation possible au niveau de l’espèce.

Les données présentent le type et le volume de déchets collectés dans les bacs à marée mis en place en Nouvelle-Aquitaine par la SCIC T.É.O (TAHO’E Éco-Organisation) dans le cadre du programme "Trait-Bleu" entre 2018 et 2021.

Les Initiatives Océanes sont des nettoyages de plages, lacs, rivières et fonds marins organisés par les bénévoles grâce à l'accompagnement de Surfrider Europe. Les données présentent le type et la quantité de déchets collectés par lieu de nettoyage, pour les années 2018 à 2020.

Dans le cadre des Aires Marines Éducatives (AME) coordonnées par l’Office Français de la Biodiversité (OFB), Surfrider Europe a lancé le programme OSPARITO pour accompagner les élèves des classes de primaire dans la gestion de leur zone de plage en les sensibilisant à la problématique des déchets. Les élèves participent ainsi au nettoyage d'une plage, ainsi qu'à la quantification et à la réflexion qui suit la collecte des déchets. Les données présentent, pour l'année scolaire 2020-2021, le type et la quantité de déchets collectés ainsi qu'une analyse graphique des données.
