The dataset contains coastal defence and flood protection data that was made available by HELCOM Contracting Parties in response to a data call. Data were collected by the HELCOM Secretariat in 2022. Data were reported by Denmark, Finland, Germany, Poland and Sweden.

For Latvia, the dataset was classified as no data available. Estonia and Sweden requested the use of HOLAS 2 data. HOLAS 2 data was also used to complement data from Poland and Denmark.
