FishMap Môn Fishing Activity Combined with Seabed Habitat Sensitivity

  • English

  • All

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. Confidence in the data used for habitat types varied depending on the source of the data. The confidence in the Phase 1 habitat data is good, however confidence in subtidal data from the HABMAP program was assigned a confidence level of Very Poor, Poor, Fair and Good.

This dataset combines the data from the intertidal and subtidal surveys: - Intertidal Fisheries Habitats (March 2010) - SUBTIDAL Fisheries Habitats with Dee and Severn 15Aug2012 - Data for Horse Mussel Reefs has also had to be merged in with the Subtidal data, as this is updated: - CCW_horse_mussel_polygon_v2 Each dataset had a different set of attribution, and had to be manipulated to apply a common standard, and also passed through a spatial data cleansing to ensure Quality Assurance of the data prior to use in the FishMap Mon process. The data represents 31 different habitats, and also a mosaic of rock and sediment. The latter is identified by a dominant habitat in the mosaic, so that appropriate sensitivity scores could be applied. The data attributes include a Confidence Level, which indicates the confidence in the spatial extent and location of a particular habitat. For the purposes of FishMap Mon the Confidence levels have been reassigned as Poor, Fair and Good (Very Poor and Poor being merged). 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.
Additional Information

This project also relates to, in part, to the Fisheries Sensitivity studies being undertaken in NRW.
