1 Data information
The dataset on status of bathing water in the EU was created in 2015 by Cogea for the European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet). It is based on the dataset ‘Bathing Water Directive - Status of bathing water’ provided by The European Topic Centre on Water and made available by the European Environment Agency at https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/bathing-water-directive-status-of-bathing-water-11. The dataset presents the latest information as reported by the coastal Member States and Albania for the 2018 bathing season, as well as some historical data since 1990, and is available for viewing and download on EMODnet - Human Activities web portal (www.emodnet-humanactivities.eu). The geographic coverage is: Albania, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom. The description of all attribute fields of bathing waters is given in Data Dictionaries ‘WISE - Bathing Water Quality Reporting under Directive 76/160/EEC’ and ‘WISE - Bathing Water Quality Reporting under Directive 2006/7/EC’ at: http://dd.eionet.europa.eu/. Compared with the previous version, the dataset has been changed according to the latest EEA version, and Montenegro bathing sites are no more available. Only coastal and transitional sites are shown on the viewer, while the dataset also contains lake and river sites.
