Distribution of Fisheries Habitats and Fishing Activity Project - Output Layers by Gear Category (Task 4)

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. The outputs for Task 4 included one layer per gear category for each SAC feature, area outside SAC features and 12 nm zone outside SACs over which the activity occurred. The outputs were to be used by CCW to determine whether sensitive habitats were subject to fishing activity and whether these situations occurred within SACs and SAC features. The data could also be used as a baseline for discussions with fishermen. As of April 1st, 2013 data is held and managed by Natural Resources Wales (NRW).

Metadata Language: English

Lineage: SAC feature layers, intertidal Phase 1 habitat data, HABMAP subtidal habitat data and fishing activity layers from the Fishing Atlas were processed using the Fisheries Habitat toolkit to create output layers for each gear category and feature type showing which gear types and habitat types occur within each category and their spatial extent. 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, HABMAP subtidal habitat data and SAC feature boundaries. Some of this data may be out of date therefore datasets are indicative rather than definitive.
