The analysis encompasses Marine Protected Areas (MPA) established under the framework of EU nature directives, National designations, and Regional Sea Conventions, as documented in the respective official spatial and tabular databases. The MPA data used in this analysis includes information from the years 2012, 2016, and 2019, sourced from the European Environment Agency (EEA) and the European Topic Centre on Inland, Coastal and Marine Water (ETC/ICM) reports. These datasets have been complemented with newly compiled data sets from 2022, incorporating the most up-to-date information available.. The map visually represents the percentage coverage of MPAs across EEA assessment areas, with each marine subregion shaded according to its MPA coverage. Regions with a higher MPA presence are depicted in deeper shades of blue, while areas with lower MPA representation are indicated in lighter shades.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> EEA, ETC/ICM, ETC BE MPA Marine Protected Areas Natura 2000 RSC CDDA EEA Nature directives SCI SPA EU Biodiversity Strategy <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>EEA standard re-use policy: unless otherwise indicated, re-use of content on the EEA website for commercial or non-commercial purposes is permitted free of charge, provided that the source is acknowledged (https://www.eea.europa.eu/legal/copyright).
