ELF Protected Sites (PS) is one of 12 themes in the European Location Project (ELF). The purpose of ELF is to create harmonised cross-border, cross-theme and cross-resolution pan-European reference data from national contributions. The goal is to provide INSPIRE-compliant data for Europe. A description of the ELF (European Location Project) is here: http://www.elfproject.eu/content/overview. Encoding: INSPIRE version 4

The Corine Land Cover datasets CLC2000, CLC2006and CLC change 2000-2006 are produced within the frame of the GMES land monitoringproject.Corine Land Cover (CLC) provides consistent information on land cover and land cover changes across Europe. This inventory was initiated in 1985 (reference year 1990) and established a time series of land cover information with updates in 2000 and 2006.CLC products are based on photointerpretation of satellite images by national teams of participating countries - the EEA member and cooperating countries – following a standard methodology and nomenclature with the following base parameters: 44 classes in the hierarchical three level Corine nomenclature; minimum mapping unit (MMU) for status layers is 25 hectares; minimum width of linear elements is 100 metres; minimum mapping unit (MMU) for Land Cover Changes (LCC) for the change layers is 5 hectares. The resulting national land cover inventories are further integrated into a seamless land cover map of Europe.Land cover and land use (LCLU) information is important not only for land change research, but also more broadly for the monitoring of environmental change, policy support, the creation of environmental indicators and reporting. CLC datasets provide important datasets supporting the implementation of key priority areas of the Environment Action Programmes of the European Union as protecting ecosystems, halting the loss of biological diversity, tracking the impacts of climate change, assessing developments in agriculture and implementing the EU Water Framework Directive, among others.More about the Corine Land Cover (CLC) and Copernicus land monitoring data in general can be found at http://land.copernicus.eu/.

Corine Land Cover (CLC) 2012 and CLC change 2006-2012 are two of the datasets produced within the frame of the Initial Operations of the Copernicus programme (the European Earth monitoring programme previously known as GMES) on land monitoring.Corine Land Cover (CLC) provides consistent information on land cover and land cover changes across Europe. This inventory was initiated in 1985 (reference year 1990) and established a time series of land cover information with updates in 2000 and 2006 being the last one the 2012 reference year.CLC products are based on photointerpretation of satellite images by national teams of participating countries - the EEA member and cooperating countries – following a standard methodology and nomenclature with the following base parameters: 44 classes in the hierarchical three level Corine nomenclature; minimum mapping unit (MMU) for status layers is 25 hectares; minimum width of linear elements is 100 metres; minimum mapping unit (MMU) for Land Cover Changes (LCC) for the change layers is 5 hectares.

Gögnin sýna svæði þar sem rjúpnaveiði er óheimil allt árið um kring.

Fráveituvatn er í eðli sínu notað vatn. Vatn sem við höfum nýtt til að baða okkur, elda mat, sturta niður í klósettin, þvo bíla, föt og ýmislegt annað. Notkunin veldur því að allskonar efni s.s. úrgangur frá fólki, matarleifar, olíur, sápur, hreinsiefni, málmar og jafnvel hættuleg efni blandast í annars hreint vatn. - Fráveituvatn getur verið mengunarvaldur en góð hreinsun getur dregið verulega úr neikvæðum áhrifum þess: - Úrgangur frá fólki er saurmengaður lífrænn úrgangur sem inniheldur bæði áburðarefni og mikið magn örvera og sýkla. - Í fráveituna berst ýmis úrgangur t.d. af yfirborði gatna og rusl (blautklútar, tannþráður o.fl.) sem er hent í í salerni. - Ýmis hættuleg efni s.s. úr hreinsiefnum, eldtefjandi efni og skordýraeitur geta fundist í fráveituvatni. - Mikið magn af næringarefnum (fosfór og köfnunarefni) í skólpi getur valdið ofauðgun eða aukinni framleiðslu þörunga (þörungablóma) sem getur leitt til skorts á súrefni í vatninu. Slíkt hefur neikvæð áhrif á staðbundið vatnalíf og getur valdið dauða ýmissa lífvera. - Fráveituvatn mengað af lyfjaleifum getur haft neikvæð áhrif á dýr, eins og fjölgun og hegðun þeirra. Losun sýklalyfja í skólpi eykur þróun lyfjaónæmis hjá bakteríum í umhverfinu. Best er að draga eins og hægt er úr allri efnanotkun og sturta ekki efnum í klósett og niðurföll heldur fara með þau til móttökuaðila slíks úrgangs.

Gögnin veita upplýsingar um hvar hægt er að losa úr ferðasalernum. Í reglugerð um hollustuhætti segir að á tjald- og hjólhýsasvæðum eða í námunda við það skuli vera aðstaða til að tæma og hreinsa ferðasalerni. Rekstraraðili svæðisins skuli veita upplýsingar um og vísa á aðstöðuna, en einnig er hægt að leita upplýsinga um staðsetningu slíkrar aðstöðu annars staðar, t.d. hjá upplýsingamiðstöðvum og á bensínstöðvum. Árið 2012 tók Umhverfisstofnun saman lista yfir þá staði á landinu þar sem finna má aðstöðu til losunar ferðasalerna. Listinn er byggður á upplýsingum frá heilbrigðiseftirliti sveitarfélaganna.

Gagnasett sem sýnir yfirlitsupplýsingar um helstu svæði þar sem landgræðsla er stunduð og Landgræðsla ríkisins kemur að á einn eða annan hátt. Undanskilin eru þó svæði í verkefninu Bændur græða landið.
