MMO1064 Motor Boat Model
This model output illustrates the potential for leisure Motor Boating activity around the English Coast as part of the MMO1064 marine recreation modelling project. The purpose of this study was to develop a computer model to map areas of potential marine recreation in England and support data previously gathered on marine recreation to support the decision making process of marine planning.

This dataset was compiled using 24 input parameters (Baseline Activity Areas, Estuary Areas, Land Access Points, Car Parks Presence, Marina Distance, Mooring Distance, Slipway Distance, Land Habitats, Intertidal Habitats, Birds on Land, Land Reserves, Water Depth, Wind Magnitude, Wave Height, Water Quality, Reef and Hard Substrate Subtidal Habitats, Seahorses, Cetaceans, Basking Sharks, Seals at Sea, Birds at Sea, Accessible Wrecks, Leisure Navigation, Restricted Areas) and a defined 1km2 analysis grid. A scoring matrix was applied to the model, which scored each of the parameters according to their influence on the recreation activity being modelled. The field 'TSCORE' is the summed score of each parameter in a given cell. The cells with the highest score = most potential for recreation for that recreation activity, and vice versa. These scores and criteria were informed through recreation stakeholder consultation. Additional attribute fields include (a) the characteristic of the cell in terms of each of the 24 input parameters (columns before TSCORE); and (b) the score for each of these 24 parameters based on the activity preferences (columns after TSCORE). To look up the definition of each field heading see the Activity Matrix found in the supporting information (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/modelling-marine-recreation-potential-in-england-mmo-1064). DATA CAVEATS: 1. The data represents the potential and most likely areas of activity. This is based on recreational specialist's views of the importance and influence of a set of parameters. The data does not represent true values/counts sourced from participants, but rather is generated from a model and this must be reflected and highlighted in further use of this information. 2. The results of the modelling underwent stakeholder verification to clarify whether the map outputs reasonably represented known areas of activity. The modelled output for potential areas for leisure Motor Boating activities was broadly supported by stakeholder feedback and verification.
