FishMap Môn Generalised Fishing Intensity Levels
FishMap Môn is a collaborative project between Natural Resources Wales (NRW), the Welsh Government, and the recreational and commercial fisheries sectors. Project Partners include The North Wales Fisherman's Cooperative Limited, Bangor Mussel Producers Limited and The Welsh Federation of Sea Anglers. The project sets out to inform the sustainable management of the Welsh marine environment by collecting and mapping fishing activity and subsequently combining this with information on seabed habitats and their sensitivity to such activities. The purpose of this data capture was to examine the spatial extent of fishing activities and the determine the habitats affected by different fishing gear types in an area around Anglesey. Fishing Intensity is described as the effort of a fishing activity in a given area. For example, this could be the number of pots hauled per day per hectare. Fishing intensity is described as one of three levels, but the actual intensity value is derived differently for each fishing type. The data consists of output generated for nine different gear types - King Scallop Dredging, Queen Scallop Dredging, Mussel Seed Dredging, Light Otter Trawling, Bottom Set Nets, Potting, Sea Angling and Casual and Professional Hand Gathering. There are multiple outputs for Potting and Sea Angling for commercial and recreational sectors From the attribute \_overlaps\" it is possible to determine the number of vessels/ fishers operating in a particular area. Due to the sensitivity of fishing intensity related data two versions of the FishMap Môn intensity level data were created both a detailed and generalised version. The detailed version is sensitive and therefore has restrictions accompanying the dataset however this generalised version does not."

A series of interviews were conducted with commercial and recreational fisherman results being completed in an electronic (ESRI Geodatabase) or paper questionnaire. FishMap Mon was undertaken as a pilot project giving a general indication of where a limited amount of fishing activity is thought to have occurred at a given time, and its expected impact on marine habitats. This fishing effort dataset was a snap shot in time and may not be representative of current fishing practices in the study area or the rest of Wales. There is a low level of confidence in the data and trail methodology.
