Nature Reserve is an area of importance to wildlife, which is protected under Ministerial order. Most are owned by the State. However, some are owned by organisations or private landowners, and persons interested in acquiring statutory protection for their lands can seek advice on this matter from the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage who are the parent department of the National Parks and Wildlife service in Ireland.

They are protected under the Wildlife (Amendment) Act of 2000. These areas have been designated by the National Parks and Wildlife Service, Dept. of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.

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.
