Data Sources• Fisheries data (from Fishermen’s logsheets)
– Catch, effort, area fished, live returns
• Biological Data (from observers, sampling programme & research)– Size, maturity, moult stage, berried
Spatial Data
• Data is collected in 5x5nm squares
• Allows assessment of the distribution of fishing effort and other metrics
Stock Assessments
• Data feeds into stock assessments which inform local management decision making
Fisheries Management Tool
• Integrating stock assessment outputs, biological data and fisheries data
• Map based interface for fisheries managers• Can be integrated with other spatial data
including Marine Spatial Plan
Map based interface
Practical applications of spatial data
Data Ownership
• Ownership of the data remains with the fishermen and the SSMO
• Access is restricted• Data can only be released once the relevant
permissions have been sought and an appropriate format agreed
