Metadata

Methodology:: Yachting harbour location and its size in terms of moorings have been extracted from different sources for the Mediterranean coast namely an existing layer prepared by Plan Bleu, the complete list of marinas of the Spanish Federation of Yachting habours, and data from the portal Portbooker.com. The point data and its attributes (Name, number of moorings) were harmonized and validated with background images. The EEA coastline dataset was split by NUTS3 regions in order to obtain the length of coastline within each NUTS3 region. The number of moorings corresponding to the NUTS3 regions was divided by the length of its coastline
