Description

WMS service corresponding to maritime traffic and CO2 emissions derived from maritime traffic in the waters around Spain for the year 2011. Spain is located at one of the most important maritime crossroads in the world, with thousands of fishing, commercial, passenger or recreational vessels crossing our waters, with special intensity in the Strait of Gibraltar. It includes a linear layer representing the volume of maritime traffic around Spain expressed in number of ships per day and a raster layer with the intensity of CO2 emissions derived from the intensity of maritime traffic itself in a sector that approximately covers Europe, Africa and the Atlantic Ocean. Through this map you can easily observe the intensity of maritime traffic on a line that from the Strait of Gibraltar and crossing the Mediterranean and the Red Sea reaches India and the Gulf of Bengal, a line that stands out worldwide as one of the most trafficked, along with others on the American Pacific coast and the trade routes between Japan and the Asian SE and Oceania. In these areas are located the areas designated as PSSAs (Particularly Sensitive Marine Areas) designated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The global inventory of emissions produced by maritime traffic was conducted at the College of Land and Marine Studies, University of Delaware (USA). It is estimated from the construction of a network of global flows of the main routes depending on the length of the routes, and the characteristics of the ships. Node of the Andalusian Environmental Information Network. Regional Government of Andalusia. Integrated in the Spatial Data Infrastructure of Andalusia, following the guidelines of the Cartographic System of Andalusia.
