Dumping - Loss of habitat, turbidity - pressure layer from the WIO Symphony tool

This layer was produced by using manually collected data provided by Be Geospatial AB. The collected points were separated within different coastal features. 5-km buffer zones were used for masking around the dumping sites (both on landbase and shipping) to extract Total Suspended Matter (TSM) values derived from MODIS. Then the values were linearly normalized within a 1-100 scale, and mapped onto the reference grid. Known limitations: The TSM index were mapped under curtain period of time using cut off threshold, this could underestimate or overestimated the actual turbidity within the region
