Summary

In order to better understand the nature, extent and intensity of interactions amongst coastal users, Marine Scotland asked the Local Coastal Partnerships to collect spatial data not already represented in national datasets. This map shows important areas for jig fishing around Grampian. It was created by the East Grampian Local Coastal Partnership, and covers the area of sea out to 12 miles. The source was from a local fishermen: one skipper was interviewed, representing the very South of the Region (Gourdon). The fisherman drew on a map areas important to him, what gear was used and species caught. They were not asked intensity or season used, or social / cultural background questions. The data set is far from complete and consultation with a larger more representative sample size of fishermen is strongly advised.
