Input of microbial pathogens along European coastlines, Jan. 2020

This raster dataset represents the input of microbial pathogens along the European coastlines.

The pressure layer was created using three different datasets rasterized using the EEA 10 km grid: urban agglomerations reported under the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive, EMODnet dataset of ports lying on the sea coast together with passenger information (annual average 2006-2016) and Intestinal enterococci and Escherichia coli data at bathing sites as measured under the Bathing Water Directive reporting obligation (average 2008-2016). All three datasets were then classified into four classes, aggregated and classified again (classes between 0 and 1).

This dataset has been prepared for the calculation of the combined effect index, produced for the ETC/ICM Report 4/2019 "Multiple pressures and their combined effects in Europe's seas" available on: https://www.eionet.europa.eu/etcs/etc-icm/etc-icm-report-4-2019-multiple-pressures-and-their-combined-effects-in-europes-seas-1.

Statement

The pressure layer was created using three different datasets converted to the EEA 10 km grid:

1. Urban agglomerations reported under the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD)

2. EMODnet dataset of ports with passenger information.

3. Intestinal enterococci and Escherichia coli at bathing sites as measured under the Bathing Waters Directive reporting obligations.

Urban agglomerations (reported under UWWTD) laying no further than 5 km from the coast were identified and compiled in a common layer. Only agglomerations with more than 5% untreated waste were selected. The information of load (PE) generated by specific agglomerations was kept. Pressure data was extrapolated to the neighbouring cells using 2 buffer belts (6 km-30% reduction) and 12 km-60% reduction.

All ports (EMODnet) lying on the sea coast were selected. Information on number of passengers (annual average 2006-2016) was also obtained, which can be used as proxy for pressure intensity. Pressure data was extrapolated to the neighbouring cells using buffer belts (6 km-30% reduction) and 12 km-60% reduction.

Intestinal enterococci and Escherichia coli data at bathing sites (as measured under the bathing water reporting obligation, average 2008-2016) was extrapolated to the neighbouring cells using 5 km buffer belt (50% reduction).

All three datasets were then classified into four classes, aggregated and classified again.
