Bycatch by bottom touching mobile gears in Europe Seas, Jan. 2020

The raster dataset represents bycatch fishing intensity (kilowatt per fishing hour) from bottom touching mobile gears in the European seas.

The dataset has been derived from Automatic Identification System (AIS) based demersal fishing intensity data received from the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre - Independent experts of the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (JRC STECF) as well as Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) and logbook based demersal fishing intensity data downloaded from from OSPAR and HELCOM Commissions. The temporal extent varies between the data sources (between 2014 and 2017). OSPAR and HELCOM data superseded the JRC STECF data where they overlapped spatially. The cell values have been transformed into a logarithmic scale (ln1).

This dataset has been prepared for the calculation of the combined effect index, produced for the ETC/ICM Report 4/2019 "Multiple pressures and their combined effects in Europe's seas" available on: https://www.eionet.europa.eu/etcs/etc-icm/etc-icm-report-4-2019-multiple-pressures-and-their-combined-effects-in-europes-seas- 1.

Explanation: See the referenced specification

Statement: The dataset was created from Automatic Identification System (AIS) based demersal fishing intensity data (temporal coverage October 2014 - September 2015) received from the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre - Independent experts of the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (JRC STECF), as well as Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) and logbook based demersal fishing intensity data downloaded from OSPAR (OSPAR Bottom Fishing Intensity - Surface - 2017, metadata available on: https://odims.ospar.org/layers/geonode:ospar_bottom_f_intensur_2017_01_00 1) and HELCOM (Fishing intensity total 2016 surface gear v2, metadata available on: http://metadata.helcom.fi/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/9c5b469a-7d84-42bc-95f5-a4dd184b6ee8 ). The temporal extent varies between the data sources. OSPAR and HELCOM data superseded the JRC STECF data where they overlapped spatially. The cell values have been transformed into a logarithmic scale (ln1).
