EMODnet Human Activities, Environment, Common Database on Designated Areas (CDDA)
The dataset on Common Database on Designated Areas (CDDA) was created in 2014 by Cogea for the European Marine Observation and Data Network. This dataset is entirely based on GIS Data from the European Environmental Agency (EEA), plus additional info and selected EEA tabular data added as feature attributes, as well as the Cogea's calulation of marine and coastal location of features. It is available for viewing and download on EMODnet web portal (Human Activities, https://emodnet.ec.europa.eu/en/human-activities). The CDDA is commonly known as 'Nationally designated areas' and it is the official source of protected areas information from the 38 European countries, members of the Eionet, to the World Database of Protected Areas (WDPA). The data are delivered by the Eionet partnership countries as spatial and tabular information. The inventory began in 1995 under the CORINE programme of the European Commission. It is now one of the agreed Eionet priority data flows maintained by EEA with support from the European Topic Centre on Biological Diversity. The dataset is used by the EEA and e.g. the UNEP-WCMC for their main European and global assessments, products and services. Geographical coverage: Albania, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Kosovo (under UNSC Resolution 1244/99), Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Montenegro, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. EEA does not have permission to distribute some or all sites reported by Estonia, Ireland and Turkey. In the webmap the dataset has been filtered in order to show only marine and coastal areas. Where available each polygon has the following main attributes: CDDA ID, country code, country name, site name, legal foundation date, national ID, area type/code (Designated Boundary or Site), IUCN category/description (Ia: Strict Nature Reserve; Ib: Wilderness Area; II: National Park; III: Natural Monument or Feature; IV: Habitat/Species Management Area; V: Protected Landscape/ Seascape; VI: Protected area with sustainable use of natural resources; Not applicable; Not assigned; Not reported), area (ha), major ecosystem type (Marine, Marine and terrestrial, Terrestrial), marine area percentage, spatial resolution (Scale 100K-250K, Scale Larger 100K, Unknown), remarks, marine/coastal location (1). For further information please visit the EEA's website. Compared with the previous release, this one includes the updated dataset 'CDDA_2023_v01_public' published by the EEA in June 2023.

Lineage
Statement | Validation and quality assurance remain up to the primary data sources, i.e. the European Environmental Agency (EEA). Data deliveries from the Eionet, the partnership network of the EEA and its 37 member and cooperating countries. In EU Member States the implementation of INSPIRE Directive may mean that the spatial information is provided via the national or sub-national INSPIRE data providers. All datasets were subjected to a series of quality assurance (QA) checks. In 2018 the CDDA data model and reporting mechanism was changed. The spatial data component of the reporting (referred to as Type 1 data) was aligned to the INSPIRE Protected Sites to avoid double reporting in EU Member States. The tabular data component of the reporting (referred to as Type 2) was simplified and redundant information removed following consultation with Eionet NRC Biodiversity. The Reporting guidelines with full details on methodology are available from the CDDA reference page, http://cdr.eionet.europa.eu/help/cdda. The positional quality check for the spatial data was carried out using the borders of the EuroBoundaryMap - version 12 (2018) https://sdi.eea.europa.eu/catalogue/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/802300f9-4b37-41e3-8990-813ce01a3fb3. Marine and coastal areas are (i) the ones with a marine area percentage higher than 0 (as reported by the EEA) and/or a 'marine' ecotype (as calculated or reported by the EEA), and (ii) the ones that, even if not identified as marine by the EEA, intersect the coastline or that are within a distance of 1 km from the coastline (using a 1 km inner buffer), as by Cogea's calculation. In both cases the COAST_MAR field value=1. The coastline datasets are available at https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/eea-coastline-for-analysis-2 for continental areas, at https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/gisco/geodata/reference-data/administrative-units-statistical-units/countries#countries20 for areas in the overseas entities. The dataset is updated annually. |
