dataset
The gridded layers were derived by modelling a suitability score based on
environmental requirements for each specific combination of species and
culture method.
The purpose of the project was to identify and map areas best suited (and with
least conflict) to specific types of sustainable marine aquaculture, within
the boundaries of the Dorset and East Devon Fisheries Local Action Group
(FLAG) area. The aquaculture suitability layers were derived by considering
environmental requirements for various combinations of aquaculture species and
growing system, to identify areas of suitability for each species/system
combination. Suitability is modelled solely from the perspective of physical
environmental requirements, and does not take conservation and legislative
boundaries, human infrastructure and activity constraints, into consideration.
The filenames of layers representing unique species/system combinations are in
the format:
‘Dorset-EDevon-FLAG_[ **species_name** ]_[ **growing_system**
]_AquaSuitability.tif’
The data layers represent a broad overview of aquaculture suitability in the
Dorset and East Devon FLAG area, but detailed site-specific investigations
would be required for local planning applications and licensing purposes.
