The Map of the Week provides information about the location of seawater finfish farms and shellfish farms in the European Union and partner countries. Finfish is the term used for bony fish and cartilaginous fish. Shellfish are animals that dwell in water and have a shell or shell-like exterior. The major categories of shellfish production are mussels, oysters, clams, cockles and scallops.

The Map of the Week shows the near real time daily Chlorophyll-a concentration at the ocean surface in regions which were not covered by clouds. Chlorophyll-a is a proxy for the abundance of photosynthetic plankton, the primary producers of the ocean.

The Map of the Week shows the wide range of marine installations across Europe based on the Marine Research Infrastructures database from EurOcean.

EMODnet Geology has released new datasets on earthquakes, submarine landslides, volcanoes, tsunamis, fluid emissions and Quaternary tectonics in seas surrounding European countries, extending from Iceland to Turkey and including the Caspian Sea.

A new update of the seabed substrates has been released by EMODnet Geology. The coverage of the data products has expanded to new sea areas, and the broad scale data product (1: 1 000 000/5 000 000) now includes the Caspian Sea. In addition, the update adds new scales into the multiscale data product with the current data including scales from as detailed as 1:1500.

The Map of the Week shows the position of underwater gliders in the ocean and seas worldwide. Underwater gliders are oceanographic instruments that automatically collect ocean data and monitor the seas.

EMODnet Geology have updated the Seafloor Geology data product. This data product compiles and harmonizes the European marine geology map data as detailed as possible for the themes: pre-Quaternary, Quaternary geology and geomorphology.

EMODnet Geology has released new datasets of recorded marine minerals known to accumulate in seas surrounding European waters. Information on the types of minerals has relevance to engineering, planning and science.

The Map of the Week shows the types of litter on European beaches according to several categories (polymer, glass, textile, metal, etc.) that have been monitored on Europe’s coastline under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD).

The Map of the Week shows the network of marine Natura 2000 sites across Europe. Natura 2000 is based on the 1979 Birds Directive and the 1992 Habitats Directive which have designated Special Protection Areas (SPA’s) and areas of Special Conservation Interest (or Sites of Community Importance; SCI’s) to ensure the long-term survival of Europe's most valuable and threatened species and habitats.
