Distribution of Fisheries Habitats and Fishing Activity Project - Revised Fishing Atlas Activity Layers (Task 2)
The objective of the associated project was to summarise how the fisheries habitats developed during the Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) habitat sensitivity project intersected with Special Area of Conservation (SACs), SAC features and fishing activity. This sets the fisheries sensitivity work in the context of the Habitats Directive. As part of the project, the Fishing Atlas activity layers were processed by the toolkit to remove areas where the activity was unlikely to occur due to the habitats present. The outputs were to be used by CCW to determine whether sensitive habitats were subject to fishing activity.

Fishing activity layers from the Fishing Atlas were processed against intertidal Phase 1 habitat data and HABMAP subtidal habitat data using the Fisheries Habitat toolkit. A lookup table based upon the sensitivity matrices was used to flag and delete habitats over which the activity was unlikely to occur. The data was created using an automated process to ensure processing was identical for all feature types. The data was based upon Fishing Atlas activity layers, intertidal phase 1 habitat data and HABMAP subtidal habitat data. Some of this data may be out of date therefore datasets are indicative rather than definitive.
