The map covers a buffer zone of coastline derived from EU-Hydro. LC/LU is extracted from Very High Resolution (VHR) satellite data and other available data. The classification provides 71 distinct thematic classes with a Minimum Mapping Unit (MMU) of 0.5 ha and a Minimum Mapping Width (MMW) of 10 m. The Coastal Zones (CZ) dataset is available for reference years 2012 and 2018 together with the accompanying change mapping.
