Description

Marine Protected Areas are a globally recognised tool to manage and enhance marine ecosystems (European Environment Agency, 2018).

MSP Challenge

Within the MSP Challenge Simulation Platform it is possible to edit, add or remove Marine Protected areas. While editing Marine Protected areas, users can select the option to also change the fishing effort of one or more fleets within the sea basin.

Types

  • No protection against fishing
  • No bottom trawl fishing
  • No industrial and pelagic trawl fishing
  • No drift and fixed nets fishing

Creation Date

Not available. Implemented on 2016/12.

Methodology

The layer was reprojected to Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area (EPSG:3035). The geometries were simplified and the smaller geometries were removed to optimise the rendering.

Types

  • No protection
  • Active Demersal Fleet Protection
  • Passive Demersal Fleet Protection
  • Pelagic Fleet Protection

Original Title

Baltic Sea Protected Areas

Description

"This dataset contains borders of the HELCOM MPAs (former Baltic Sea Protected Areas (BSPAs). The dataset has been compiled from data submitted by HELCOM Contracting Parties. It includes the borders of designated HELCOM MPAs stored in the HELCOM Marine Protected Areas database. The designation is based on the HELCOM Recommendation 15/5 (1994)."

Description retrieved from HELCOM's metadata page for this resource (2021-08-26).

Creation Date

Creation date not available. Latest update: 2017-03-30.

Methodology

Geometry simplification to speed up rendering, very small areas were deleted.

Types

  • No protection against fishing
  • No nephrops fishing
  • No scallops fishing
  • No demersal fishing
  • No seine fishing
  • No pots and creel fishing
