Physical disturbance to the seabed dataset in support of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) Descriptor 6 (D06C02, 2018 Reporting)
This dataset is part of the 2018 Belgian submission for the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) linked to descriptor 6, criterion 2. This dataset describes and maps the physical disturbance to the seabed in the Belgian part of the North Sea (BPNS) between 2011 and 2016. The dataset combines different layers of human activities leading to a disturbance of the seabed, including power cables with its rock dump, dredging and dumping, extraction, war ammunition stocking and wind farms. The area disturbed is mapped and quantified per year, per activity and per benthic broad habitat.

This dataset is the result of a combination of five smaller shapefiles representing power cables with its rock dump, dredging and dumping area, extraction area, war ammunition stocking area and wind farms. Original data were described in different coordinates system such as WGS84, ED50 and ETRS89. A buffer is applied around line geometry to create a serie of polygon that are reprojected in WGS84. Finally all shapefiles are dissolved and published in INSPIRE compliant ETRS89-LAEA projection. The data is then dynamically made available through WFS and statically converted to an INSPIRE-compliant GML file.
