The dataset provides information on the location (geographic coordinates and country) of the production facilities and their related info as the group of produced organism (macroalgae, microalgae and spirulina), the step in the value chain (Producer, Processor, Technology provider, Consultancy, Research and Development, Trader/Exporter) the production method (Fermenters, Harvesting , Photobioreactors, Open ponds, Semi Open ponds, land-based or at sea Aquaculture, Integrated multi-trophic or not) and the species farmed (see dataset). The data have been collected for the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Faroe Islands, France, Germany, Greece, Greenland, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The JRC, through a study commissioned for the Knowledge Centre for Bioeconomy in September 2022, has updated the database with the latest information and extended the scope to new socio-economic data, which are made available as a dataset collection (https://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/handle/JRC129053) and an accompanying report (https://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/handle/JRC130107). More detailed information on the Status of the Algae Producing Industry in Europe can be found in a scientific publication in Frontiers in Marine Science (https://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/handle/JRC122250). All this work by the JRC aims at building a reliable database to characterize the algae sector and to support informed European policies on Blue Growth and Bioeconomy.

The portal makes available information such as geographical position, spatial extent of a series of activities related to the sea, their temporal variation, time when data was provided, and attributes to indicate the intensity of each activity. The data are aggregated and presented so as to preserve personal privacy and commercially-sensitive information. The data also include a time interval so that historic as well as current activities can be included. https://ows.emodnet-humanactivities.eu/geonetwork/srv/api/records/7b849214-e6ae-4199-a3f0-d4539f1f1289/attachments/EMODnet_HA_Algae_Producing_Industry_20230125.zip WWW:DOWNLOAD EMODnet_HA_Algae_Producing_Industry_20230125.zip ZIP (File Geodatabase / Shapefile) https://ows.emodnet-humanactivities.eu/wms?

Then enterprises were classified according to the data availability and certainty and specific surveys were launched for each class. Then, for the enterprises that did not reply to the survey, a thorough desk research of their specific websites was carried out to consolidate and to complete the missing data. From the tabular data collected by the JRC Cogea has created a Geodatabase storing (i) a feature class repesenting the location of the facilities and (ii) a table reporting detailed information about the production. The two objects ae linked through the primary and foreign key values (ID). The original dataset by the JRC was submitted through the EMODnet Data Ingestion project.
