This review focuses on vessel location data, rather than catches or landings data. A comprehensive report (MMO, 2022) was commissioned by Defra’s Marine Biodiversity Impact Evidence Group (IEG) and prepared by the Marine Management Organisation which investigated data accessible to MMO to enable spatial mapping of <12m fishing vessel activity in England. This review aims to complement the MMO (2022) report, by expanding its spatial coverage to include Scotland, and by including a review of data available for >12 m fishing vessels nationally. A brief overview of methods and tools available to identify the spatial distribution of fishing activities is included. We further illustrate the strengths and limitations of existing data, methods and tools used to identify the spatial distribution of fishing activities and provide recommendations relevant to the application of these data to evaluate potential impacts of offshore wind developments. This report is an output of the Fisheries Sensitivity Mapping and Displacement Modelling project (FISMaDiM) project as part of the Offshore Wind Evidence and Change Programme (OWEC).

In the case of electronic reporting, there are still limitations and gaps. Electronic reporting data, with the exception of Remote Electronic Monitoring (where fishing operations can be validated through video observations or sensor data) do not differentiate whether a vessel is engaging in fishing or other activities. Several methods have been developed to infer fishing activity based on some descriptor of the vessel movement profile. For example, the simplest criterion is a speed rule, where records above and below a certain speed threshold are assumed to be associated with fishing operations (Lee et al., 2010; Palmer and Wigley, 2009). This method is mainly used to classify VMS data into fishing or non-fishing activities. This approach, however, has several critiques, mainly associated with the low frequency of data acquisition in VMS.
