What this layer shows

The shore building exclusion zone, where new buildings and structures are banned (Nature Conservation Act § 38). It is 200 m on sea islands, 100 m elsewhere on the coast and 25–50 m on inland waters; the exceptions are listed in the Act. Reducing it outside towns and small boroughs needs the Environmental Board's consent (§ 40).

Floods, shores and water protection

Flood areas at four probabilities, flood risk areas, the shore building exclusion, restriction and water protection zones, the public shore path, drinking-water source protection zones, groundwater protection, the nitrate-vulnerable zone and water body status. The building exclusion zone width comes from the Act (LKS § 38).

Sea and coast

Marine habitats (sandbanks, estuaries, mudflats, coastal lagoons, large shallow bays and reefs), HELCOM marine protected areas, the West Estonian Archipelago biosphere area, bird areas and the shore building exclusion and restriction zones.

Plans and land use

General plans in force with their land-use designations, green network and valuable landscapes, densely built-up areas, national designated spatial plans, the Rail Baltica corridor and cadastral parcels. The plan document is what is legally binding.
