Physical disturbance to the seabed dataset in support of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) Descriptor 6 (D06C02, 2018 Reporting) Citation Vera Van Lancker, Lars Kint, Giacomo Montereale Gavazzi (2018). GIS layer for Physical disturbance and loss of the seabed: Disturbance (MSFD). https://marineinfo.org/id/dataset/8511 Contact: Availability:  This dataset is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.Description This dataset is part of the 2018 Belgian submission for the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) linked to descriptor 6, criterion 2. This dataset describes and maps the physical disturbance to the seabed in the Belgian part of the North Sea (BPNS) between 2011 and 2016. The dataset combines different layers of human activities leading to a disturbance of the seabed, including power cables with its rock dump, dredging and dumping, extraction, war ammunition stocking and wind farms. The area disturbed is mapped and quantified per year, per activity and per benthic broad habitat.
