2012 Marine Conservation Zone Stakmap Watersports Interviews dataset https://portal.medin.org.uk/portal/start.php?tpc=010_efaac63777bed26e82c72c440765e779 This geodatabase contains manually digitised GI created during the Stakmap/Fishermap participatory mapping research project. The geometries have been cleansed and non polygonal features have been converted into polygons using a 300m buffer. Individual records are presented in those feature classes which have the '_individual suffix'. One condition of the research was that only those interviewees who explicitly gave permission for their data to be shared would have their own mapping represented in the final product shared with third parties. All other individuals have had their data removed from this feature class. Charter Boats: 174 interviews. 118 gave permission for sharing. Divers: 105 Interviews. 49 gave permission for sharing. Anglers: 481 Interviews. 400 gave permission for sharing. Watersports: 662 Interviews. 340 gave permission for sharing. Wildlife Enthusiasts: 9 Interviews gave permission for sharing. Where interviewees gave permission to share there data it has been presented in a suite of three feature classes '_activity_individual', '_additional_individual', '_club_individual'. This feature class gives details on the nature and frequency of surfing, sailing, motorboating, kayaking, canoeing and any other recreational pursuit that involves watercraft. In addition to a categorical description of the activity, this feature class describes the activity's location, distribution over the year and the numbers of people involved. The importance field gives the interviewee's appraisal of the importance of the site to themselves and the people they represent. This is communicated using a 3 point scale (valued -, valued, valued +) 20120331
