EMODnet Human Activities, Cables, Telecommunication, Actual Routes
The dataset on subsea telecommunication cables in the European waters was created in 2014 by Cogea for the European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet). It is the result of the aggregation of datasets provided by several EU and non-EU sources. It is updated every year, and is available for viewing and download on the EMODnet web portal (Human Activities, https://emodnet.ec.europa.eu/en/human-activities). The dataset contain lines representing actual cable routes locations. Compared with the previous version, this version includes an update of the German cables.

Data were retrived from 7 different sources. Validation and quality assurance remain up to the primary sources. Cogea simply retrieved the information available online or submitted by data sources, except for Maltese cables that have been edited in a shapefile using tabular data of coordinates submitted via EMODnet Data Ingestion portal by the International Ocean Institute-Malta Operational Centre (University Of Malta)/Physical Oceanography Unit.
