EEA coastline for analysis (polygon) - version 2.0, Sep. 2015
The EEA coastline for analysis is created for highly detailed analysis, e.g. 1:100 000, for geographical Europe. The coastline is a hybrid product obtained from projects using satellite imagery as data source: EUHYDRO [link not available - yet] and GSHHG [ http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/pwessel/gshhg/]. The defining criteria was altitude level = 0 from EUDEM [will become available from EEA website]. Outside the coverage of the EUDEM, the coastline from GSHHG was used without modifications. A few manual amendments to the dataset were necessary to meet requirements from EU Nature Directives, Water Framework Directive and Marine Strategy Framework Directive. In 2015, several corrections were made in the Kalogeroi Islands (coordinates 38.169, 25.287) and two other Greek little islets (coordinates 36.766264, 23.604318), as well as in the peninsula of Porkkala (around coordinates 59.99, 24.42).
This dataset is a polygon usable as a water-land mask.

Resource lineage
- Statement
-
Polygon: the polygon was derived from the parent dataset by adding two straight lines, one North-to-South, at the East-most part of the parent dataset, and the second one West-to-East, at the South–most part of the parent dataset. These 2 lines are taken from the NGA-derived coastline produced by the ETC-BD in 2008. Then a polygon dataset is created using the ArcGIS tool “Feature to Polygon”.
