EuroRegionalMap v4.0 is a pan-European dataset containing topo-geographic information at the scale 1:250 000 assembled from 31 country data sets covering 26 EU Countries (Bulgaria not included), 4 EFTA countries, the Republic of Moldova. It is a seamless (there are no gaps between graphical objects initially derived from different sources) and harmonised data and is produced in cooperation by the National Mapping and Cadastral Agencies of Europe, using official national databases. Themes: a) Administrative (administrative boundaries, administrative areas) b) Hydrography (well, coastline / shoreline, foreshore, island, sea, aqueduct, lake / pond, reservoir, spring / water hole, waterfall, watercourse, dam / weir, lock, glacier, snow field / ice field, wetland) c) Transportation (railway, interchange of motorways, road, control tower, level crossing, ferry crossing, ferry station, entrance / exit, railway station, vehicle stopping area / rest area, pier / wharf / quay, airport / airfield, heliport, runway) d) Settlements (built-up area, named location) e) Soil and vegetation

Rivers acts as a pathway for mismanaged waste to reach the sea. Results of the monitoring in the Fiumicino canal (Tiber river-Italy), estimated that 85.4 (± 9.4) litter items get into the sea each hour, with approximately 30% of which were already fragmented. Within the Medsealitter project, a surface density at the river mouth of approximately 1,270 litter items >2.5 cm and 190 litter items >20 cm per km2 was extrapolated. The percentage of the materials found is the following: Artificial polymer materials 82%; Cloth/Textiles 1%; Metal 3%; Paper/Cardboard 8%; Processed/worked wood 1%; Rubber 5%.
