Other policies that use the indicator
Method: 1) Calculation of surface from the Nationally designated protected areas data eliminating double counting of areas where National sites are overlapping; 2) topological controls and adjustments, other data quality controls; 3) Marine areas are defined in "EEA marine assessment areas - version 3.0, Oct. 2022 " dataset. References about these sources are available in the specific dataset's section of this catalogue.
