MOSES project - WP6 - Vector 1 - Marine spill risk

This map aims to identify spill locations in Atlantic European waters and construct a marine spill risks index for the coastal territories in the European Atlantic Arc. In the construction of Vector 1 marine spill risk values for MOSES coastal NUTS3 regions were obtained from Fernández-Macho (2016) where a method for the evaluation of marine spill risks is proposed and applied to all European coastal territories. The method uses tools of geographic information systems and computer modelling to simu- late the effect of spills at sea. The modelling considers the size of the spill, its distance from the coast, the shape and length of coast that would be affected and the direction and speed of the ocean currents. It was applied to all recorded historical spills in European waters from 1970 to 2014 (ITOPF, 2015) for 429 Eurostat territorial units in 156 Eu- ropean coastal regions.
