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. Scope Themes: Geography Keywords: Marine/Coastal, Human activities, Physical disturbance, Seabed, Belgian part of the North Sea Geographical coverage Belgian part of the North Sea [Marine Regions] Temporal coverage
