The aim of this study was to create a series of consistent UK-wide marine information layers relating to the distribution and economic value of commercial fishing and shellfisheries. The layers were developed using GIS software ArcGIS 9.3 and MapInfo 9.5. The final output is a series of GIS layers displaying the annual mean Fish Value for years 2004 to 2007. The layers are a UK ‘first’ and it is anticipated that they will be developed further in the future to improve the information provided, particularly for inshore areas. The layers have the flexibility to display the annual mean value per Gear Class for both Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) vessels (over 15m length) and Non-VMS vessels. The spatial information can be used to highlight areas of importance and value to the fishing industry, particularly offshore. They will also assist in informing discussions regarding the strategic planning for offshore developments, particularly R3 offshore wind as well as informing wider planning for UK’s marine waters. This series contains a written report as well as VMS & non-VMS data.

Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 7799 |
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. | 2009, ABPmer, COWRIE, Development of spatial information layers for commercial fishing and shellfishing in UK waters to support strategic siting of offshore windfarms |
Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Fish Value |
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. | e0669ff3b4845d8b9ca7e93fc65eec4d |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 2941 |
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 | 2009 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2009 |
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'. | annually |

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Indicative information on the financial value of fishing activities is available from the Marine and Fisheries Agency. Fishing Effort information can be obtained from the individual Sea Fishery Committees. Processed VMS data was supplied by Cefas for England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and FRS for Scotland. |
