Ireland Marine Footprint Map (Cumulative pressures of human activities on marine biodiversity in BioProtect Irish Demonstration Site)

This raster compiles and spatialises pressures from human activities on marine biodiversity in BioProtect Irish Demonstration Site. EMODnet ( https://emodnet.ec.europa.eu/en) shapefiles of all activities occuring in the Irish marine space was processed through the JNCC database. Activities layers were multiplied by their allocated pressure described in the JNCC ( https://data.jncc.gov.uk/) database (0.5 for mid/low pressure values and 1 for high pressure values) and then scaled to the 99th?percentile so that the pressure layer is scaled in a 0 to 1 gradient with extreme values removed. The footprint map was produced by the Artic University of Norway and the Marine Institute as part of the EU-funded BioProtect project (WP4). The aim was to produce a coherent map of cumulative pressures which can support the identification of areas of priority for conservation. It will feed into the efforts to reach the Kunming-Montreal Framework and EU target of designating 30% of the Irish marine space as protected areas by 2030 ( https://www.cbd.int/gbf). All project activities, deliverables and publications relevant to BioProtect can be found on the official website: https://bioprotect-project.eu/
