The dataset is a spreadsheet of munition piles, their properties (e.g., number of objects, variability, burial state), and the parameters characterizing their environmental (e.g., munition compound concentrations and current velocity) and maritime (e.g., distance to various maritime uses and traffic density) surroundings in the German Baltic Sea. Data were collected over numerous cruises from 2017 to 2024. All munition piles in the dataset are located at Kolberger Heide (close to Kiel Fjord) or in the Lübeck Bay. The purpose of data acquisition was to understand the distribution and properties of dumped munitions in German waters as well as the hazards and risks they pose to maritime uses. Munition piles were annotated in multibeam echosounder data, assessed in detail in photomosaics, and analyzed using an array of geospatial analysis methods.
The CRANIMPACT project investigated the effects of beam trawl shrimp fisheries on 2 habitat types in the sublittoral of the Wadden Sea National Parks of the northern German states. Two complementary approaches were used to investigate the short-term effects following an experimental fishing event and the chronic changes caused by sustained fishing pressure of varying intensity. In the experimental approach, the short-term, small-scale effects on endo- and epifauna after experimental fishing and their effect duration were investigated on a total of 4 study sites (A, B, B2 in the tidal flat system of the Sylt backshore tidal flat; C in the tidal flat system near Norderney). The experiments were conducted as before-after-control-impact studies (BACI) exclusively in habitat type fine and medium sands with ripple structure (a sufficiently large lanice field could not be sampled). The large-scale effects of fishing were determined along gradients of fishing intensity in the Wadden Sea of Lower Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein and Denmark. For this purpose, among other things, methods were developed to represent small-scale differences in fishing effort using satellite data in tidal flat systems. Gradient analysis (GA) was carried out on fine and medium sands with ripple structure as well as on fields with colonization of the tree tube worm Lanice conchilega for the endofauna alone. All surveys were conducted in the sublittoral. A total of 427 endofauna samples were examined from 2019, 2020, and 2021.

The development of the ecosystem approach and models for the management of ocean marine resources requires easy access to standard validated datasets of historical catch data for the main exploited species. They are used to measure the impact of biomass removal by fisheries and to evaluate the models skills, while the use of standard dataset facilitates models inter-comparison. North Atlantic albacore tuna is exploited all year round by longline and in summer and autumn by surface fisheries and fishery statistics compiled by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT). Catch and effort with geographical coordinates at monthly spatial resolution of 1° or 5° squares were extracted for this species with a careful definition of fisheries and data screening. In total, thirteen fisheries were defined for the period 1956-2010, with fishing gears longline, troll, mid-water trawl and bait fishing. However, the spatialized catch effort data available in ICCAT database represent a fraction of the entire total catch. Length frequencies of catch were also extracted according to the definition of fisheries above for the period 1956-2010 with a quarterly temporal resolution and spatial resolutions varying from 1°x 1° to 10°x 20°. The resolution used to measure the fish also varies with size-bins of 1, 2 or 5 cm (Fork Length). The screening of data allowed detecting inconsistencies with a relatively large number of samples larger than 150 cm while all studies on the growth of albacore suggest that fish rarely grow up over 130 cm. Therefore, a threshold value of 130 cm has been arbitrarily fixed and all length frequency data above this value removed from the original data set.
