Abstract:

This webmap displays Marine Protected Area (MPA) and near-realtime marine vessel AIS position/activity information throughout the Baltic Sea. It was designed to aid European marine traffic regulators and fishery management authorities such as the European Fisheries Control Agency. This project monitors marine vessels to identify ships located in MPAs to support the investigation of potential illegal fishing activity or potential environmental harm to protected marine habitats.
