AIS Shipping Traffic - First week of March 2010 (Number of intersecting vessels) |
Map shows number of vessels using class A AIS (vessels >300t, AIS working and not switched off, position info is accurate) and excludes vessels <300t, fishing vessels, recreational craft, vessels carrying class B AIS. AIS (Automatic Identification System) is a carriage requirement for SOLAS vesels and is an integral part of the EU Vessel Traffic Monitoring and Information Directive (2002/59/EC).

Dredge Spoil Disposal Sites - Open |
This layer shows the locations of dredge spoil disposal sites that are designated as open (in use). The locations are indicated by points (beyond 1:2,000,000) and polygons (below 1:2,000,000). The spoil is usually as a result of navigational dredging (deepening of navigation channels) on the approaches to ports and harbours.

Areas where fishing/harvesting of COCKLES is restricted |
Fishing pressures can be managed using spatial measures such as prohibiting or restricting certain types of fishing, target species, or vessel capacity. This dataset depicts restrictions on fishing/harvesting of COCKLES defined by EU, UK and Scottish legislation since 1986. Polygons were simplified for web use and are for illustrative purposes only. Guidance should be sought from Fishery Offices on interpreting legislation.
