Data layer of average landings value(2007 to 2011) for the under-15m and over-15m fleets for all gear types developed for the Future Trends in Fishing and Aquaculture in the South Inshore and Offshore Marine Plan Areas (MMO Project No. 1051) by ABPmer. The under-15m fishing data was derived from the MCZ Fisheries Model grid output for 2007 to 2010 (updated to 2011 from MMO landings data) and the over-15m fishing data was derived from the VMS sub-ICES rectangle data provided by MMO. Data outputs from MMO 1051 Fishing and Aquaculture trends project. The aim of the project was to provide an analysis of fishing and aquaculture trends in England using currently available evidence. This will be used in the development of scenarios for marine plans which span 20 years and complement trends information relating to the other listed Marine Policy Statement sectors. The project will identify key knowledge gaps and make recommendations on how the evidence base for fisheries trends could be improved for marine planning.
