2009-2010 Eastern Sea Fisheries Joint Committee Fisheries Mapping Project, Herring and Sprat Fisheries Region from available data and fishermen's knowledge dataset https://portal.medin.org.uk/portal/start.php?tpc=010_90af83fc8d373e7222172d9d79d52bd1 This layer is the output of the Eastern Sea Fisheries Joint Committee's Fisheries Mapping Project, which aimed to describe-using best available data and fishermens knowledge-the extent of the main fisheries within the ESFJC District. They are not, however, exhaustive-please use with discretion. Use of this data should never replace full, proper consultation within the fishing industry, but rather be seen as illustrative of the types of activity within the District and, where information is available, an indication of seasonality. A report on the Fisheries Mapping Project will be available in Spring 2012, and will contain information about how the data was collected and compiled, and the process of consultation which was undertaken. Please refer to the ESFJC website: www.eastern-ifca.gov.uk For further details on the project, its output, or guidance on how to interpret the data, please contact the project manager: jwoo@esfjc.co.uk.
