It is the result of the aggregation and harmonization of datasets provided by several sources. It is updated as soon as any changes are made in any of the Advisory Councils and is available for viewing and download on EMODnet web portal (Human Activities, https://emodnet.ec.europa.eu/en/human-activities). The dataset contains polygons representing the geographical scope, jurisdiction and information for each of the Advisory Councils of the European sea basins. Each polygon has the following attributes (where available): Name, Members, Scope, Sea basin, Legal foundation date, Legal foundation document and a URL-link to the Advisory Council's website.

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/7e539449-48b8-4e5f-87f3-e5e2ff4cfe1b/attachments/EMODnet_HA_AdvisoryCouncils_20251114.zip WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download EMODnet_HA_AdvisoryCouncils_20251114.zip ZIP (File Geodatabase / Shapefile) https://ows.emodnet-humanactivities.eu/wms?
