HELCOM Map and Data Service (HELCOM MADS) contains all geospatial data relevant for HELCOM work from status assessments to shipping density maps.
It is linked to the HELCOM Metadata catalogue to view INSPIRE compliant metadata and download datasets in shapefile or in TIFF format.
The service contains various functionalities for viewing datasets, for example, identify features and attribute table functionalities.
HELCOM provides direct access to all HELCOM geospatial datasets either by ArcGIS Rest interface or INSPIRE compliant OGC WMS Standard.
