EMODnet Human Activities, Waste Disposal, Dumped Munitions
The dataset on dumped munitions in the European seas was created in 2018 by CETMAR for the European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet). It is the result of the aggregation and harmonization of datasets provided by several sources. It is updated every year and is available for viewing and download on EMODnet web portal (Human Activities, https://emodnet.ec.europa.eu/en/human-activities). The dataset contains points and/or (where available) polygons representing dumped munitions sites in the European sea basins. Each point and/or polygon has the following attributes (where available): Munition type (Conventional and/or Chemical, and/or Unknown), Munition description, Information provider, Update date and Distance to coast (metres). The distance to coast (EEA coastline shapefile) has been calculated using the UTM WGS84 Zone projected coordinate system where data fall in.

Data were retrieved from different sources. Validation and quality assurance remain up to primary data sources, while harmonization is carried out by CETMAR. For further information on validation and quality assurance, it is suggested that primary data sources are contacted. Information obtained from local sources was cross-checked with information from HELCOM ( http://www.helcom.fi/), Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey ( https://www.nonproliferation.org/chemical-weapon-munitions-dumped-at-sea/), OSPAR ( https://odims.ospar.org/) and European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency ( https://cinea.ec.europa.eu/publications/study-underwater-unexploded-munition_en) databases.
