  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">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 data used for this project was in the process of being revised therefore the aim of the project was to produce a toolkit which would allow the analysis to be repeated in future.

 The outputs from this project included:
 1. MapBasic scripts 
2. Set of processed output layers 
3. Set of Excel spreadsheet summarising the data 
4. Overall report, archive appendix and technical appendix. 

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)</dc:description>
