Maps – Mediterranean Observatory on Environment and Sustainable Development

Specific thematic maps

This section proposes a series of thematic maps produced by Plan Bleu.

Planche 1-1: Pleasure craft density in the Mediterranean Sea

Planche 1-2 : Posidonia oceanica habitats in the Mediterranean Sea

Planche 1-3 :

Planche 2-1: Fishing and coastal pollution hotspots

Planche 2-2: Fishing capture by riparian country in the Mediterranean Sea

Planche 3-1: Borholes in and out Ecological and Biological Significant Areas (EBSA) in the Mediterranean Sea

Planche 3-2: Offshore installations in and out EBSAs

Planche 4: Birds flyways and offshore windfarms project

The map shows the relationship between current projects of offshore wind farms installations, birds trajectories for 6 species. The map also shows the location of Mediterranean important bird and biodiversity areas

Planche 5-1: Mean monthly modeled nitrate concentration at sea surface in the Mediterranean Sea

Planche 5-2: Mean monthly modeled phosphate concentration at sea surface in the Mediterranean Sea in 2020

Maps illustrating the relationship between pressures from human activities and the environmental states

A series of maps, illustrating the relationship between pressures from human activity and the environmental states, has been produced in 2020.

Maps of seasonal temperature and precipitation changes for the Mediterranean Basin

Presentation of an atlas (annex of the First Mediterranean Assessment Report (MAR1) prepared by the network of Mediterranean Experts on Climate and environmental Change (MedECC), which considers two greenhouse gas emission scenarios (RCP2.6 and RCP8.5) regarding the “temperature” and “precipitation” parameters for 4 seasons.
