- Title
- Mineral (sand) extraction potential in the Lithuanian EEZ
- Abstract
The potential of mineral (sand) extraction was mapped by matching the sediment substrate found in the known wxtraction sites against the seabed sediment distribution in the Lithuanian EEZ. The location of the official sand extraction sites and seabed sediment map was retrieved from the EMODnet Geology “Marine Minerals” and “Seabed Substrates” data products.

- Data Quality
- The potential of mineral (sand) extraction in the Lithuanian EEZ was mapped by overlaying the known official locations of mineral (sand) extraction sites and the sediment map available. The sediment map classifies, according to the “folk_5” classification found in the Seabed Substrate data product from EMODnet Geology (2019), sediments into: “Sand”, “Mud to muddy Sand”, “Mixed sediments”, “coarse-type sediments” and “Rock & boulders”. The sediments were reclassified into “Low”, “Medium” and “High” as input for the spatial discrimination of the potential for mineral (sand) extraction ES in the Lithuanian EEZ. • EMODnet Geology, 2019.
