Open source suite of libraries and tools to support research activities on marine and coastal environment. The suite was initially implemented for the ADRIPLAN portal, an integrated web platform aimed at supporting Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) activities and other activities concerning the managing of marine environment for the Adriatic-Ionian region.

The ADRIPLAN Data Portal is a collaborative platform making accessible data, services and tools to support Maritime Spatial Planning processes implementation in the Adriatic and Mediterranean region. The ADRIPLAN Portal was developed during the ADRIPLAN (ADRiatic Ionian maritime spatial PLANning) project, a project co-funded by the European Commission – DG Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE) under the theme “Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) in the Mediterranean sea and/or the Black sea“ (Grant Agreement n. MARE/2012/25 [SI2.666717]). The Portal was established by the Italian National Research Council - Institute of Marine Sciences (CNR-ISMAR), coordinator of the project, with inputs from all project partners. Following the conclusion of the project, the Portal is maintained and further developed under the project RITMARE (IT Flagship Project on marine and maritime research). The portal is an integrated platform which aims to support the MSP process in the Adriatic-Ionian region. The portal is developed on GeoNode, an open source Geospatial Content Management System that allows users to share geospatial datasets and maps. ADRIPLAN collaborates with other projects to integrate and make data available from their portals. The creation and maintenance of this network of collaborations allows the capitalization of existing multiple efforts and improves the availability of spatial dataset for users interested in MSP-related information.

The dataset contains data on individual nationally Designated Areas and corresponding Protected Site spatial features in EEA member and collaborating countries. This dataset is periodically updated.

SeaSketch is a web-based platform used to support collaborative marine spatial planning. SeaSketch can collect data and geospatial layers form public and private services and provide them through an interactive web map interface. At the same time, users can generate alternative proposals representing zoning, regulatory, management plans and the feedback of stakeholders most affected by those decisions. This information is then mapped and integrated on SeaSketch, which uses optimization and simulation models to present decision scenarios to the stakeholders. SeaSketch has been developed by the McClintock Lab at the University of California Santa Barbara.

The layer represents the distribution of potential new Italian marine/coastal Natura 2000 areas.

The Adriatic Atlas is designed as a tool for storing, visualizing and managing all those data that are necessary in order to implement the Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) and Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) policies: it represents a first support to the decision-making process, in which all the information have been harmonized at the basin level . This tool was also designed in order to allow the exposure of data at a local scale (i.e. regional scale) for all the project partners. The Atlas includes not only territorial data stricto sensu, but also the legislative and planning framework of the Adriatic marine and coastal area. By querying the map, a dialogue window opens up showing the list of legislation and/or plans of that location. The Atlas represents a starting point for future European projects that will be able to benefit of the wide range of data which are elaborated in the Atlas, thus facilitating spatial analysis of all kinds.

The data comes from the website of the Italian Ministry of Economic Development, its contain only the schematic routes between marine platforms and marine platforms and storage and treatment terminals on land.

List of marine structures installed in the Italian offshore. The list includes platforms (operative/ non operative) with emerged structure, subsea well solutions and temporary storage floating units. The data come from the official site of the Ministry of Economic Development.

Map of the habitats of the Platamuni area represent spatial representations of the habitat types. This data could be used for the urgently needed creation of a Montenegrin Cave's Register and also as a basis for future research and protection measures.

Portal of the European Environment Agency containing static and interactive data, maps and graphs subdivided per different environmental topics.

Data on major ports and harbours in the italian portion of Adriatic sea. Vector data have been provided by Shape project partners. "Shape Adriatic Atlas" administrators have harmonized all the data and their attributes in a unique layer covering the entire adriatic italian coast. The original data in Italy has been collected from ISPRA database, updated and integrated by Shape Project partners on the base of Port Authorities informations.

Marxan is a widely used decision support tool for spatial conservation prioritization in terrestrial as well as maritime space. This free and open source software is used in 184 countries to build marine and terrestrial conservation systems and acts as the global leader in conservation land and sea use planning. Marxan is primarily designed to solve spatial prioritization problem where the goal is to achieve minimum representation of biodiversity features that will meet user-defined targets for the smallest possible cost.

For Europe, maritime transport has been a catalyst for economic development and prosperity throughout its history. Maritime Transport enables trade and contacts between all European nations. It ensures the security of supply of energy, food and commodities and provides the main vehicle for European imports and exports to the rest of the world. Almost 90% of the EU's external freight trade is seaborne. List of layers: - Ferry routes - Marine traffic density map 2015 - Motorways of the sea - Ports

As a huge on line geographic atlas including the cartography available on italian areas, from which to get tons of information on the main environmental and territorial themes: This is the National Geoportal (NG). It is managed and mantained to the Ministry of Environment and Protection of Land and Sea, it is the national access point of environmental and territorial data.

Location of main commercial ports in Italy

Anchorage areas. The vectors data have been edited by Istituto Idrografico della Marina - Italy (Electronic Navigational Charts). Shape Projact Adriatic Atlas administrators have been authorized by IIM to processed ENC data for project purposes

Polygons that represent the areas covered by specific plans of ports development (PRP Piano Regolatore Portuale) and thus not interested by MSP planning. The legal status of the plan is quite different, some of them are fully approved and legally binding (approved after 1994) some of them are old plans with updates (prp with ATF) and some are still ongoing. Attribute anno_prp contains information about approval and needs further investigation on the authority website

Structures and areas dedicated to fish restocking and nuersery protection.
