Distribution of Fisheries Habitats and Fishing Activity Project Outputs
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 data used for this project was in the process of being revised therefore the aim of the project was to produce a toolkit which would allow the analysis to be repeated in future. The outputs from this project included: 1. MapBasic scripts 2. Set of processed output layers 3. Set of Excel spreadsheet summarising the data 4. Overall report, archive appendix and technical appendix. 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)

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 outputs were used to create a series of Excel spreadsheets summarising the spatial data. Details of the processes used by the toolkit are given in the Technical Appendix. The final outputs are modelled and may be re-run by CCW on a regular basis, using the tools provided. 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 Some of this data may be out of date therefore datasets are indicative rather than definitive.
