The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) Statistical Areas delineates the divisions and subdivisions of FAO Major Fishing area 27. The ICES Statistical Areas are used as bounding areas for calculation of fish statistics, e.g. catch per unit effort (CPUE) and stock estimates.
The peripheral fishing and port towns layer consists of 53 coastal localities characterized as fishing and port towns with varying degrees of demographic change. This is characterized on the basis of their census based socio-economic and demographic characteristics. This is the second stage of a based on a two-stage cluster analysis of coastal localities (defined as within 2 kilometres of the coast) with populations of greater than 1000 (for reasons of confidentiality).
These places have been characterised with higher employment in fishing/water and construction than the coastal average. Part Time and Self-employment are above coastal average perhaps reflecting the artisan fishing and smaller fleets that occupy these harbour towns. This is consistent with skilled trade. There is evidence of deprivation with higher than coastal average scores at household level. The population is ageing with more ‘one person households’ than found elsewhere.
Localities around Inverness, the North‐West Highlands, and the Scottish island populations are growing but have socially homogenous populations. In contrast, stretches of the coast with traditional fishing localities have experienced overall population decline. Examples include the East Neuk of Fife and the Firth of Clyde.
The Military Families layer consists of two coastal localities with military bases.
This is characterized on the basis of their census based socio-economic and demographic characteristics. This is the second stage of a based on a two-stage cluster analysis of coastal localities (defined as within 2 kilometres of the coast) with populations of greater than 1000 (for reasons of confidentiality).
This cluster represents just 2 coastal localities which are dominated by defence employment. This is evidence of their proximity to military bases which is evident in commuting variables where they are highest in work within 10 kilometres. Full time employment is high with indicators relating to economically inactive as well as characterised as low for deprivation. Highest for Middle range qualifications (level 1+3) are expected here. Below average number of people employed in unskilled or manual jobs, with higher working aged between 16 and 44. There are high amounts of couples with children and private rented housing which would be in line with families employed in defence. High proportions of ‘multi-households other’ which may reflect barrack accommodation.
The linked later-life localities layer consists of 53 coastal localities with an aging populaton. This is characterized on the basis of their census based socio-economic and demographic characteristics. This is the second stage of a based on a two-stage cluster analysis of coastal localities (defined as within 2 kilometres of the coast) with populations of greater than 1000 (for reasons of confidentiality).
The employment in these settlements is characterised by higher representation in information, communication, real estate, finance industries sectors and low levels of deprivation. There is a predominately older age profile in these settlements over 45’s showing highest here with many couples with no children. There are high levels of owned housing and unpaid carers. There is highest car ownership in this cluster group.
