This is an indicator to estimate <strong>the</strong> cumulative impact <strong>of</strong> anthropogenic pressures on benthic habitats. It measures<br />

<strong>the</strong> amount <strong>of</strong> each habitat type being signifi cantly impacted by cumulative impacts. The indicator is targeted<br />

to be used in <strong>the</strong> <strong>HELCOM</strong> biodiversity assessments and to assess <strong>the</strong> EU MSFD GES criteria 1.6 and 6.1.<br />

Description <strong>of</strong> data<br />

Metadata and <strong>the</strong> maps <strong>of</strong> each <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> pressure data layers are available in <strong>the</strong> <strong>HELCOM</strong> Data and Map<br />

Service (http://maps.helcom.fi ).<br />

The benthic habitats are from <strong>the</strong> EUSeaMap <strong>project</strong>: http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/page-5020.<br />

Data source<br />

EUSeaMap (raster, cell size/resolution 276m)<br />

Relevant anthropogenic (physical) pressure data from prior <strong>project</strong>s (<strong>HELCOM</strong> HOLAS) were selected:<br />

Dredging, Dumping, Windfarms, Oil rigs, cables and pipelines, coastal defense structures, bridges and<br />

dams, bathing sites, coastal shipping
