Summary

The Fisheries Evidence project was commissioned in February 2022 by The Crown Estate as an internal research project. The project was conducted by the Marine Spatial Data and Evidence Team within the Marine Planning Team and completed in May 2022. The aim of the Fisheries Evidence project was to enhance The Crown Estate's understanding of the spatial distribution of fishing effort in English, Welsh and Northern Irish waters (EWNI). The project aimed to provide an overview of the UK fishing industry and its challenges and included a review of publicly available fisheries data and evidence. Key datasets were identified, informing The Crown Estate's understanding of core fishing grounds and potential planning constraints in view of existing and future areas of fishing intensity, so that strategic planning related risks may be considered at an early stage in the development process. Key relevant stakeholders were included within discussions, including the Marine Management Organisation (MMO), Cefas and fishing industry representatives. The following summary report outlines the evidence gaps identified and recommendations of the Fisheries Evidence project.
