EMODnet Human Activities, Cultural Heritage, UNESCO World Heritage Convention
This dataset provides the location of coastal sites from the UNESCO World Heritage Convention list. It includes Unseco sites considered as coastal according to the definition of costal areas provided by the European Commission: coastal areas are local administrative units (LAUs) that are bordering or close to a coastline. A coastline is defined as the line where land and water surfaces meet (border each other). Coastal areas have at least 50% of their surface area within a distance of 10km from the coastline. The dataset includes the name of the sites, its code in the Unesco site database, the distance to coast, whether it is a cultural or natural site and a short description from the Unesco. It is available for viewing and download on the EMODnet web portal (Human Activities, https://emodnet.ec.europa.eu/en/human-activities).
