Foraging ranges for individual species were clipped according to foraging depths and habitats as provided by Martin Kerby (RSPB). The data layer shows foraging intensity at the 1km² scale.

Influences on foraging areas considered were; habitat and depth. Information on relavent depths and habitats were provided to Net Gain by the RSPB. The depth layer utilised was provided by UKHO (license expired) and broad scale habitat was combined broadscale habitat (v3) provided by JNCC. A 1x1km grid was then created using hawth tools extension for ArcMap. Each species layer was then spatially joined to generate the output map. The join count represents foraging intensity at the 1km² scale.
