Marine protection by Mediterranean Sea MPAs
This indicator shows marine biodiversity protection by Mediterranean MPAs by combining areas of legal and managerial protection in an overall response index. -
Management effort in the Mediterranean Sea
The indicator of management effort was made by summing all the overlapping MPAs on each 1ha pixel across the whole Mediterranean Sea (based on MAPAMED, the database on... -
Marine exposure due to marinas and recreational shipping
The dispersal of yachting port-derived pollution was modeled as a diffusive plume up to 20 km based on the data on mooring capacity of each yachting port. The spatial proximity... -
Marine exposure due to port activity:fishing
The influence of fishing activity was modeled as a buffer with and exponential decay based on self calculations using the total capacity of the fleet: tonnage of vessels (in... -
Marine exposure due to port activity: Goods transport (thousand passengers)
The dispersal of port-derived pollution was modeled as a diffusive plume based on their activity level (goods transport in thousand tonnes; Eurostat, 2012). -
Intensity of pollution by maritime transport
Shipping data (Halpern et al., 2008) provide an estimate of the occurrence of ships at a particular location, and therefore an estimate of the amount of pollution they produce... -
Marine litter by transport influence
The indicator is based on data modelled by a Lagrangian particle tracking model to simulate 30 years of input and transport floating debris in the world ocean. The relative... -
Marine litter by population influence
The indicator is based on data modelled by a Lagrangian particle tracking model to simulate 30 years of input and transport floating debris in the world ocean. The relative... -
Potential fishing pressure along the Mediterranean Sea coast
Three variables were taken into account to produce this indicator: fishing effort, calculated by a classification of ports according to their fishing fleet tonnage, average... -
Marine exposure due to port activity: Cruise passengers (thousand passengers)
The dispersal of port-derived pollution was modeled as a diffusive plume based on their activity level (cruise transport in thousand passengers; Eurostat, 2012). -
Marine exposure due to port activity: Passenger transport (thousand passengers)
The dispersal of port-derived pollution was modeled as a diffusive plume based on their activity level (passenger transport in thousand passengers; Eurostat, 2012). -
Occurrence of turtles
The indicator was calculated transforming point data into a density layer using data on turtles observations (EMODnet Biology Portal, 2014). Species list includes the Loggerhead... -
EMODnet Human Activities: Vessel Density
EMODnet Vessel Density maps were created by Cogea in 2019 in the framework of EMODnet Human Activities, an initiative funded by the EU Commission. The maps are based on AIS data... -
Nights per km2 in coastal areas

Legal protection in the Mediterranean Sea
The indicator of legal protection was made by summing all the legal designation categories (based on MAPAMED, the database on Mediterranean Marine Protected Areas, MedPAN,... -
Marine exposure due to port activity
The dispersal of port-derived pollution was modeled as a diffusive plume based on their activity level using Eurostat data on transport of goods (thousand tonnes) and passengers... -
Densitity of tourism capacity: Number of beds per km2 in coastal areas
This index is based on Eurostat tourism statistic on bed places and the DMSP-OLS Nighttime Lights Time Series image. Eurostat's tourism capacity statistics differentiate between... -
Occurrence of cetaceans
The indicator was calculated transforming point data into a density layer using data on cetaceans observations (EMODnet Biology Portal, 2014). Species list includes the... -
Number of establishments per km2 in coastal areas
This pressure index is based on Eurostat tourism statistic on number of tourism accommodation establishments and the DMSP-OLS Nighttime Lights Time Series image. Eurostat's...
