Figure Marine protected area coverage by regional sea
This map shows the percentage marine protected area (MPA) coverage in Europe's regional seas. It also shows the distance to the Convention on Biological Diversity Aichi target 11 of 10 % coverage. The distance from the network coverage to the coverage target is reported with respect to three different distance buffer zones: 0-1 NM, 1-12 NM and 12 NM - END of national waters (NM = nautical miles, END = outer limit of MPA assessment area).
Data Regional seas around Europe
The regional seas around Europe are the Baltic Sea, the Barents Sea, the Black Sea, the Iceland Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, the North-east Atlantic Ocean, the Norwegian Sea, and the White Sea. The regional seas are harmonised with existing boundaries established under the Regional Sea Conventions (OSPAR, HELCOM, Barcelona, and Bucharest Convention) and MSFD regions and subregions, as agreed by the Marine Strategy Framework Directive Committee in November 2016.

Figure Coverage of marine protected areas in Europe's seas
The table shows the percentage cover of MPAs and distance to 10 % target for each regional and sub regional sea and by distance zone from the coastline modified from the report: Spatial analysis of Marine Protected Area Networks in Europe´s seas. EEA Technical report, no 17/2015
Data Marine waters used in Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD)
This vector data set is the first public version released of the EU marine waters used for the implementation of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), submitted by the Member States to the European Commission. The Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) applies to all marine waters of EU Member States, which in Article 3 are defined as follows: (a) waters, the seabed and subsoil on the seaward side of the baseline from which the extent of territorial waters is measured extending to the outmost reach of the area where a Member State has and/or exercises jurisdictional rights, in accordance with the UNCLOS, with the exception of waters adjacent to the countries and territories mentioned in Annex II to the Treaty and the French Overseas Departments and Collectivities; and (b) coastal waters as defined by Directive 2000/60/EC, their seabed and their subsoil, in so far as particular aspects of the environmental status of the marine environment are not already addressed through that Directive or other Community legislation.
Figure D source code Combined effects of land-based pressures on species and habitat in Europe's seas
The map describes combined effects index values for pressures caused by land-based human activities. The relative values indicate areas where the pressures potentially affect the marine ecosystem. The table shows the frequency of assessment units indicating pressure
Figure Overall biodiversity condition and trends in Europe's Seas
The figure shows the overall summary of the state and trends in European marine biodiversity trends & status assessed by Regional Seas Conventions (RSCs) and European assessments. Where assessments based on limited data or restricted regions, grey colors is used
Figure Troff document Marine protected area coverage by regional sea, 2016
The map shows the percentage marine protected area (MPA) coverage in Europe's regional seas. It also shows the distance to the Convention on Biological Diversity Aichi target 11 of 10 % coverage. The distance from the network coverage to the coverage target is reported with respect to three different distance buffer zones: 0-1 NM, 1-12 NM and 12 NM - END of national waters (NM = nautical miles, END = outer limit of MPA assessment area).
Figure Changes in wastewater treatment in South- Eastern European countries between 1990s and 2009
This figure illustrates the percentage population in South - Eastern European countries connected to a waste water collection and treatment systems (UWWTPs) over the period 1990 to 2009. In addition, a breakdown by treatment type is portrayed.
Figure Agricultural land use within coastal NUTS2 regions
The map provides an overview (%) of agriculturally used land per coastal region, ranging from 1% to 73%.
