On december 20th, EMODnet Biology proudly presented a new and innovative spatial product, that provides a platform for important marine and biological dataproducts. 

New anomaly maps show a decline in shipping activity in the Belgian part of the North Sea and the Western Scheldt in 'februari-april' 2020 vs 2019, at least partly related to the corona crisis.

The static maps were updated to match the upcoming new marine spatial plan, that comes into force from 2020 onwards.

58 infographics that highlight the state of fish stocks exploited in Belgian fishery have been receiving an overhaul based on newly released data for 2018 and 2019. 

In an effort to combat the rise of litter in the European marine environments, EMODnet Chemistry created several spatial data products on marine litter that combine data and measurements from over 100 partners and institutes. 

The team of EMODnet Human Activities has published a spatial data product that displays the density of maritime traffic in European waters. Additionally, the team has planned a live tutorial on Friday the 15th of March to further detail the use of this map.
