Harbour porpoise importance map HOLAS 3 - Baltic sea

This dataset describes the distribution and abundance of harbour porpoise across the Baltic Sea. The ecosystem component maps on mammals distribution were drafted by the harbour porpoise and seals distribution teams of the HELCOM Expert Group on Marine Mammals. The dataset was created to be used in the HELCOM Third Holistic Assessment of the Ecosystem health of the Baltic Sea (HOLAS-III). The methodology report can be found in https://dce2.au.dk/pub/TR240.pdf
