The figure shows three different descriptors of the quantity of marine litter by marine region.
See report Marine Litter in Europe-An integrated assessment from source to sea (https://forum.eionet.europa.eu/etc-icm-consortium/library/subvention-2022/tasks-and-milestones-2022/1.1.8.1-marine-litter-assessment/milestone-2-addressing-comments-eea-and-finalization-assessment-report/final-version-november-2022-eea-approval/etc-icm_marine-litter-assessment_master_v5.2_06112022_for-eea-approval)
The map shows the spatial distribution of Floating Macrolitter Loading from Europe into the ocean based on mean-based modelled estimates calculated using the RIMMEL database. The coloured dots represent litter loading predicted on the basis of the Mamanaged Waste in each individual drainage basin, including permanent rivers, non-permanent rivers and streams.
The figure shows the change in plastics demand for packaging in Europe.
Datasets showing SO2 (2014 and 2019), NOx (2019), PM2.5 (2019) emissions in European shipping areas. These datasets have been prepared in relation to the development of the first European Maritime Transport Environmental Report (EMSA-EEA report, 2021: https://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/maritime-transport).
The present map provides the spatial extent of MSFD regions and subregions, as agreed by the MSFD Committee in November 2016.
In the Marine Strategy Framework Directive - MSFD (Directive 2008/56/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 establishing a framework for community action in the field of marine environmental policy), four marine regions are listed (Article 4): Baltic Sea, North-east Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea
