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 with PELAGIC TRAWLS defined by EU, UK and Scottish legislation since 1986. Polygons were simplified for web use and are for illustrative purposes only.
