The European Atlas of the Sea
The European Atlas of the Seas provides information about Europe’s marine environment. Users can view predefined and ready to use maps, covering topics such as environment, tourism, security, energy, transport, litter, sea bottom, fishing activity, aquaculture, and much more.
Users can also benefit from an enriched catalogue with more than 250 map layers, covering a wide range of topics, to explore, collate and create their own maps. These maps can be printed, shared and embedded in articles or presentations. The Atlas is the ideal tool for schools, researchers and professionals, or anyone wishing to know more about the European seas and its coastal areas.
In the context of the EU's integrated Maritime Policy, the European Atlas of the Seas offers easy to navigate data, as well as user-friendly tools to create and share your own maps on such topics as:
- Sea depth and underwater features
- Blue energies and maritime resources
- Maritime protected areas
- Tide amplitude and coastal erosion
- Fishing stocks, quotas and catches
- Coastal regions geography and statistics
- European fishing fleet
- Tourism
- Aquaculture
- Maritime transport and traffic
- Ports' statistics
- Maritime policies and initiatives
- Outermost regions
The European Atlas of the Seas has been developed by the European Commission, Directorate General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE) of the European Commission.
