Aggregated trawling data for 2014 retrieved from the VMSbase system
EnvironmentThese datasets (Jan, Feb, April-December 2014) were produced in aggregated maps by showing the intensity of VMS (and not the effort) by the use of VMSBase-free software and Rstudio software (2009-2014, Inc. Version 0.98.1091) through a knowledge gained at VMSBase Training course, IMC-CNR, Ancona, Italy held in October 2015. This data was included as part of the dataset used for one of the co-financed EU LIFE+ Funding Programmes - LIFE BaĦAR for N2K project. -
Area Designated For Hydrocarbon Exploration and Exploitation
EnvironmentThe boundary used for the definition of seabed/subsoil is based on the area currently designated for hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation without prejudice to Malta's continental shelf boundary. This incorporates the seabed/subsoil beneath the WFD Coastal Waters. The original data was provided by CSD in WGS 84 and subsequently transformed by ERA into ETRS89TM33. ERA has processed the data for reporting obligations emanating under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive. -
Article 12 Birds Distribution
EnvironmentArticle 12 requires Member States to report about the progress made with the implementation of the Birds Directive. The Commission, in agreement with Member States, has revised the reporting procedure in order to focus the reporting on data that inform about the status of bird populations, thereby streamlining to an extent the reporting with the reporting under Article 17 of the Habitats Directive. -

Article 17 Habitats Distribution
EnvironmentArticle 17 of the Habitats Directive requires Member States to report every six years about the progress made with the implementation of the Habitats Directive. As the main focus of the directive is on maintaining and/or restoring a favourable conservation status for habitat types & species of community interest, monitoring & reporting under the directive is focusing on that. Monitoring of conservation status is not restricted to Natura 2000 sites and data need to be collected both in and outside the Natura 2000 network to achieve a full appreciation of conservation status. Some data on sensitive species is restricted from public access, as the disclosure of such might adversely affect the conservation of the species in question; this is in line with the provisions of Article 4 2(h) of Directive 2003/4/EC. -

Copernicus Land - corine land cover 2018
EnvironmentCorine Land Cover (CLC) 2018 and CLC change 2012-2018 are two of the datasets produced within the frame of the Initial Operations of the Copernicus programme (the European Earth monitoring programme previously known as GMES) on land monitoring.Corine Land Cover (CLC) provides consistent information on land cover and land cover changes across Europe. This inventory was initiated in 1985 (reference year 1990) and established a time series of land cover information with updates in 2000 and 2006 being the last one the 2012 reference year.CLC products are based on photointerpretation of satellite images by national teams of participating countries - the EEA member and cooperating countries ��� following a standard methodology and nomenclature with the following base parameters: 44 classes in the hierarchical three level Corine nomenclature; minimum mapping unit (MMU) for status layers is 25 hectares; minimum width of linear elements is 100 metres; minimum mapping unit (MMU) for Land Cover Changes (LCC) for the change layers is 5 hectares. The resulting national land cover inventories are further integrated into a seamless land cover map of Europe.Land cover and land use (LCLU) information is important not only for land change research, but also more broadly for the monitoring of environmental change, policy support, the creation of environmental indicators and reporting. CLC datasets provide important datasets supporting the implementation of key priority areas of the Environment Action Programmes of the European Union as protecting ecosystems, halting the loss of biological diversity, tracking the impacts of climate change, assessing developments in agriculture and implementing the EU Water Framework Directive, among others.More about the Corine Land Cover (CLC) and Copernicus land monitoring data in general can be found at http://land.copernicus.eu/. -
