Distribution of Fisheries Habitats and Fishing Activity Project - Output Layers by Gear Category (Task 4) dataset https://portal.medin.org.uk/portal/start.php?tpc=007_NRW_DS115270 The objective of the associated project was to summarise how the fisheries habitats developed during the Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) habitat sensitivity project intersected with Special Area of Conservation (SACs), SAC features and fishing activity. This sets the fisheries sensitivity work in the context of the Habitats Directive. The outputs for Task 4 included one layer per gear category for each SAC feature, area outside SAC features and 12 nm zone outside SACs over which the activity occurred. The outputs were to be used by CCW to determine whether sensitive habitats were subject to fishing activity and whether these situations occurred within SACs and SAC features. The data could also be used as a baseline for discussions with fishermen. As of April 1st, 2013 data is held and managed by Natural Resources Wales (NRW). 20121207
