The project aims to enhance the understanding of how different coastal wetland habitats interact with human activities and environmental pressures, informing strategies for sustainable restoration and management. The dataset was compiled from six case pilots representing diverse coastal wetland types across Europe. These case studies were selected to encompass a range of ecological conditions, management regimes, and socio-environmental dynamics, providing a robust foundation for assessing wetland conservation and restoration challenges. The dataset maps habitats and ecosystem services across these six case studies, offering a detailed spatial representation of: • Habitat types present within the selected wetlands, classified according to the standardized European Nature Information System (EUNIS), v2012, and v2021 (terrestrial)/2022 (marine); • Activities and pressures affecting these habitats, including land use, tourism, aquaculture, agriculture, infrastructure development, pollution, habitat degradation, and others. The nomenclature for activities and pressures used was based on established European environmental directives and frameworks, namely the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD, Directive 2008/56/EC), the Water Framework Directive (WFD, Directive 2000/60/EC), the Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC, 1992), and the Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community (NACE, EC, 2006). This dataset is a key resource for scientists, policymakers, and conservation practitioners, providing insights into the interactions between coastal wetland habitats, human activities, and environmental pressures. It supports the RESTORE4Cs project by informing evidence-based restoration strategies that enhance biodiversity, climate resilience, and sustainable land use across Europe.anthropogenic factorCoastal habitatswetland <http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/OGC/1.3/CRS84> Polygon((28.2843 44.8032, 28.2843 45.4723, 29.7459 45.4723, 29.7459 44.8032, 28.2843 44.8032)) <http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/OGC/1.3/CRS84> Polygon((-8.72507 40.63271, -8.72507 40.74963, -8.59663 40.74963, -8.59663 40.63271, -8.72507 40.63271)) <http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/OGC/1.3/CRS84> Polygon((-0.27997 39.61579, -0.27997 39.64107, -0.240362 39.64107, -0.240362 39.61579, -0.27997 39.61579)) <http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/OGC/1.3/CRS84> Polygon((20.5142 54.8743, 20.5142 55.7186, 21.2653 55.7186, 21.2653 54.8743, 20.5142 54.8743)) <http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/OGC/1.3/CRS84> Polygon((4.4382 43.3229, 4.4382 43.674, 4.9275 43.674, 4.9275 43.3229, 4.4382 43.3229)) <http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/OGC/1.3/CRS84> Polygon((3.9907 51.2754, 3.9907 51.6811, 4.4087 51.6811, 4.4087 51.2754, 3.9907 51.2754)) DOIhttps://doi.org/10.48372/ADX2-VJ72Info and download page on LifeWatch Italy Data Portalhttps://data.lifewatchitaly.eu/handle/123456789/129787Paper: Exploring variability in environmental impact risk from human activities across aquatic ecosystems.https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2018.10.339Universidade de AveiroEnglish
