EEA marine assessment areas

  • English

The EEA marine assessment areas are harmonised units used for statistics. The EEA established the assessment areas for marine assessments to avoid jurisdictional issues on disputed maritime borders. The assessment areas dataset allows for a consistent geospatial approach for providing and updating spatial statistics of relevance for the implementation of EU legislation and progress monitoring of EU policies.
