The dataset indicates the location of dredge fishing activity in Irish waters. Attributes when known include year, area, gear type, species, season, days per year (Days_Year), number of vessels (Vessels), vessel size (LOA_Max), gear units, classification, Area of polygon (Area_M2), and data type. This dataset was created in support of the Natura 2000 risk assessment in 2013. Please note that this dataset represents dredging activity for vessels <15 metres length in Irish waters.

This dataset shows the distribution of fishing effort by fishing vessels according to the gear type used. Fishing effort is defined as the time spent engaged in fishing operations or time spent at sea, this time may be multiplied by a measure of fishing capacity, e.g. engine power. In this dataset fishing effort is measured as average hours spent actively fishing per kilometre square, per year. Data from years 2014 to 2018 was used to produce this data product for the Marine Institute publication the “Atlas of Commercial Fisheries around Ireland, third edition“ (https://oar.marine.ie/handle/10793/1432).

This dataset includes raw monitoring data on the positioning of recreational fishing activities in the Belgian part of the North Sea and the Belgian coast, collected during 34 aerial surveys between 30 November 2016 and 8 November 2017. Data products based on this dataset are already available on https://www.kustportaal.be/en/fisheries-and-aquaculture and on www.recreatievezeevisserij.be (-> http://rshiny.recreatievezeevisserij.be/plaatsbepaling/).
