EMODnet Human Activities, Cultural Heritage, Lighthouses

This dataset provides the location of lighthouses inventoried by the Amateur Radio Lighthouse Society (ARLS). It includes both existing lighthouses and historical ones that have been removed, relocated or destroyed (column Status). The dataset includes the name of the lighthouse, its code in the ARLSH database, the status, the distance to coast, whether it is located at sea or within the coastline and some comments when the ARLSH information has been edited based on information from other sources. Coordinates are approximate for most of the lighthouses.It is updated every 2 years, and is available for viewing and download on the EMODnet web portal (Human Activities, https://emodnet.ec.europa.eu/en/human-activities). Re-use for commercial and non-commercial purpose requires written consent from the ARLHS.
