Metadata: UK Fishing Intensity Associated with Oil and Gas Pipelines (2007-2015)
Abstract:
The layers provide information on the intensity of mobile fishing associated with Oil and Gas pipelines and cables. Each layer was created by calculating the total number of fishing tracks in 1 km by 1 km squares along the length of each pipeline for four gear categories (see More Information below). Fishing tracks were recreated for UK vessels greater than 15 m in length between 2007-2015 operating mobile demersal gear (otter trawls, pair trawls, beam trawlers and dredges) using vessel position data extracted from the Vessel Monitoring System. The layers can be used to aid the pipeline decommissioning process, including assessing the potential impacts and risks of different decommissioning options to commercial fisheries and informing the frequency of post-decommissioning monitoring according to level of fisheries interaction. The layers can also inform risk modelling for operational pipelines.

| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | UK Fishing Intensity Associated with Oil and Gas Pipelines (2007-2015) |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | Marine_Scotland_FishDAC_1972 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | Marine_Scotland_FishDAC_1972 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2007-01-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2015-12-31 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | 1000.00 |
| Spatial resolution unit | This describes the unit of spatial resolution which for distance must be metres. | http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/ISO_19139_Schemas/resources/uom/gmxUom.xml#m |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | unknown |
| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | The layers provide information on the intensity of mobile fishing associated with Oil and Gas pipelines and cables.

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The layers were created following the methodology of Rouse et al. (2017) ‘Commercial fisheries interactions with North Sea pipelines: considerations for decommissioning’ ICES Journal of Marine Science (https://academic.oup.com/icesjms/article/3972175/Commercial-fisheries-interactions-with-oil-and-gas). VMS position data were filtered by speed to distinguish fishing from steaming points. Fishing points were interpolated into tracks, accounting for the speed and heading of the vessel, to obtain a greater spatial resolution of fishing activity. Each pipeline was divided into 1 km sections. The total number of fishing tracks, extending 500 m either side of the pipeline, was calculated for each 1 km section according to four gear categories: dredging, nephrops (otter and pair trawls), demersal (otter, pair and beam trawls), and all mobile demersal gear. |
