Summary

FishMap Môn is a collaborative project between Natural Resources Wales (NRW), recreational and commercial fishing sectors, and the Welsh Government. The project sets out to inform the sustainable management of the Welsh marine environment by collecting and mapping fishing activity and combining it with information on seabed habitats and their sensitivity to such activity. 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. It is also described as one of three levels, but the actual intensity value is derived differently for each fishing type. The purpose of this data capture was to examine the spatial extent of fishing activities and the determine the habitats affected by d ifferent fishing gear types in an area around Anglesey. 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. This detailed version of the dataset shows the precise locations of the fishing activities and the data also cont ains specific information about the fishing activities and so is restricted to the FishMap Môn Team and certain partners - contact the dataset owner for more information.

• Access contraints: This dataset is sensitive and restricted. The sensitive data is the precise location of fishing activities and specific information about them. Sensitive data must be kept confidential; general release is not permitted due to risk of harm to the environment or third parties. Sensitive data may only be released under an appropriate NRW Licence. Requests should be referred to NRW's Access to Information Officer. Data may be released freely if the sensitive records are removed in advance, or shown only at a coarser scale. The data is considered OS derived data and is therefore jointly owned by NRW and the Ordnance Survey.
