The map represent the distribution of resident species of turtles in the Mediterranean Sea based on observations registered in EMODnet Biology Portal. Species list includes the Loggerhead and Green Turtles. Species list is based on ‘Marine mammals and sea turtles of the Mediterranean and Black Seas’, IUCN, 2012.

The map shows the distribution of main fishing ports in the Mediterranean Sea and its corresponding area of pressure (based on self calculations using the total capacity: tonnage of vessels, DG MARE, 2014). The influence of fishing activity was modeled as a buffer with and exponential decay based on self calculations using the total capacity of the fleet: tonnage of vessels (in gross tonnage, GT). This indicator is based on fleet stats of DG MARE, 2014. Calculations were made following the same methodology developed for ESaTDOR Project (ESPON, 2013).

The map shows the spatial distribution of the frequency of oil spills in the Mediterranean Sea, indicating where the probability of an oil discharge is higher. Oil spills were represented as a density layer calculated using data on ship accidents and oil discharges registered by the Mandate of the Regional Marine Pollution Emergency Response Centre for the Mediterranean Sea (REMPEC), and also the oil spills map generated by Cinirella et al., 2012 (based on JRC data, 2009).

The indicators represent the distribution and degree of accumulation of marine in the Mediterranean Sea. Main source data were modelled by Lebreton et al., 2012 using a Lagrangian particle tracking model to simulate 30 years of input and transport of floating debris in the world’s ocean. The relative contribution of different sources to the total amount was taken into account in their model.

Data showing the number bed-places in per km2 Mediterranean countries indicating the capacity of regional tourism infrastructure. Estimation made from a disaggregation of data at NUTS2 (EU countries) or national level (non-EU countries) based on the distribution of accommodation sites available in OpenStreetMap. Countries without data were estimated according to the number of accommodation sites. Last year reported for most non-EU countries and certain regions of France and Turkey is 2021 (2015 for Egypt).

Data represents the degree of pressure based on the intensity of passengers vessels, including high speed craft, in the Mediterranean Sea (year 2022). The map is based on AIS data aggregated at 1km2 by EMODnet and expressed as total time with presence of vessels in each cell throughout the year. The indicator provides an estimate of the amount of pollution vessels produce (via fuel leaks, oil discharge, waste disposal, etc.), under the assumption that traveling ships primarily affect their immediate waters.

The dataset of the number of moorings in marina ports per kilometre of coastline for each NUTS3 region, based on Portbooker.com, 2022 is produced in the framework of DestiMED PLUS. DestiMED PLUS Project builds on the successes of MEET and DestiMED projects and aims to improve levels of integration between regional tourism and conservation policies in the protected areas of 9 Mediterranean Regions through the creation of ecotourism itineraries which are developed using a collaborative approach, both locally and regionally to develop ecotourism.

Representación del efecto Isla de Calor Urbana mediante la oscilación térmica media estival diurna por grandes barrios en la ciudad de Málaga desde 2003 a 2023. Para la elaboración de la presente información se han utilizado datos MODIS para el cálculo de la diferencia de temperatura entre área urbana y áreas colindantes. Concretamente se utilizan los datos LST (el término "LST" en el contexto de MODIS se refiere a "Land Surface Temperature" en inglés, que significa "Temperatura de la Superficie Terrestre" en español) derivados de MODIS de TERRA (MOD11A2) y AQUA (MYD11A2), disponibles con una resolución de 1000 m × 1000 m. Solo se procesan los píxeles con cielo despejado (nubosidad 0%) para no meter ruido en los cálculos de medias de temperatura. La franja horaria diurna analizada comprende desde las 13:30 a las 22:30 horas, recopilando datos de los meses de junio, julio y agosto desde el 2003 hasta el 2023 (20 años). En este caso, se ha realizado la diferencia en LST de los píxeles urbanos y los píxeles no urbanos dentro de una extensión urbana, en este caso la definida como entorno urbano de Málaga. Los datos de la capa pueden utilizarse para identificar las áreas urbanas que son más propensas a experimentar el efecto isla de calor en la Ciudad de Málaga.

The dataset of the number of nights spent by tourists in coastal and non-coastal areas per km2, as an indicator of the local intensity of tourism capacity is produced in the framework of DestiMED PLUS. DestiMED PLUS Project builds on the successes of MEET and DestiMED projects and aims to improve levels of integration between regional tourism and conservation policies in the protected areas of 9 Mediterranean Regions through the creation of ecotourism itineraries which are developed using a collaborative approach, both locally and regionally to develop ecotourism.

Medbiolitter database summarises results of scientific studies on biodiversity and marine litter interactions in the Mediterranean Sea. To this end, information is collected from different data sources, such as institutions or projects, as well as peer-reviewed publications. One of the main sources of data is LITTERBASE/AWI, only including the coverage within the Mediterranean Sea. The database currently comprises 1056 records on interactions. Interaction refers to encounters between wildlife and litter items and are classified in four categories: 1) Ingestion, which is the most frequently observed interaction, followed by 2) entanglement, which affects motility, often with fatal consequences, 3) colonization, which occurs when many species settle on floating litter, and 4) others, including different types of less frequent interaction. The database includes among others the location, the type of interaction and litter, marine realm (beach, sea surface, water column, seafloor), habitat, species, whether it occurs in a marine protected area and the type in such case, as well as references to the publication from which the data are extracted.
