Description
The Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) provides information on the location and identity of all vessels greater than 15m in length. This layer shows the VMS data for all UK registered commercial fishing vessels (>15m length) fishing for Scallop species for the period 2009-2013. This provides an indication of the most intense areas for Scallop in Scottish waters. The values contained within the layer should not be taken as an absolute representation of amount of fishing vessels in a given area. Rather, the VMS values are a product of the statistical model used.
