Metadata: 2008-2011, CEFAS, Assessment of the distribution and intensity of fishing activities in the vicinity of aggregate extraction sites
Abstract:
"This project reviewed the fishing activities taking place within REC areas, their distribution and intensity. Vessel Monitoring System data for fishing vessels over 15m was used to described the activities of the scallop dredging, beam trawling, otter trawling and herring fishing fleet. The project also studied changes in fishing patterns following the introduction of human activities in the Eastern English Channel. Furthermore, an assessment was undertaken on the feasibility of using sidescan sonar data to assess the nature and intensity of fishing activities in an area. Work was also undertaken to assess the distribution and intensity of inshore fishing activities, within an area off the South Coast."

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 5021 |
| 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. | 2008-2011, CEFAS, Assessment of the distribution and intensity of fishing activities in the vicinity of aggregate extraction sites |
| 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. | 8c7a823595295f048c32d5e18885a366 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 21522 |
| 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. | series |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2008-06-21 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2001-03-31 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
| 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'. | notPlanned |
