Whereas the location and footprint of most human activities is well known (e.g. aggregate extraction, wind farms, cables and pipelines), information on fishing activities remains patchy and in some instances is closely guarded, especially for the inshore fleet. The overarching aim of this project was to gain a better understanding of the inshore fishing fleet. The project brought together data from the Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authorities, Welsh Government and the Marine Management Organisation. The same data were analysed in a number of different ways to inform management requirements. Specifically the objectives of this project were: 1. To develop inshore fishing activity data layers from IFCA and MMO data covering years 2010- 2012; 2. To provide insights into temporal changes of inshore fishing activities and changes in relation to closed areas (e.g. MPAs or renewable developments); 3. To develop the concept of Zones of Influence for coastal fishing ports around England; 4. To present a case study on the potential application of the data layers developed; and 5. To report and disseminate the outcomes of the project. This project was able to produce fishing activity data layers for England and Wales covering the years 2010-2012. The data layers were produced using routinely collected data by IFCAs and the MMO. The fishing distribution and intensity data layers are presented by gear type and complement the previous data layers covering the period 2007-2009. A first attempt was made to investigate temporal changes in fishing activities in inshore waters, using the data covering the six year period between 2007 and 2009. At a national scale, areas with repeated fishing activity on an annual basis were identified. At a local scale, around a marine protected area, displacement and fishing activity intensity were studied. Results confirmed observations from local experts, thereby suggesting the data are able to describe changing trends in fishing activity. The Zones of Influence concept was successfully rolled out to all fishing ports around England and Wales. The approach links fishing grounds to coastal fishing communities and allows better assessment of current and future spatial conflicts between stakeholders. The Zones of Influence Distribution and trends in inshore fishing activities and the link to coastal communities Page v were also used to explore a new approach to value inshore fishing grounds. As with any approach, it has some limitations, but also offers some valuable new insights. The project has delivered all its objectives and results have already been used to inform conservation management and marine planning, by informing marine conservation zone impact assessments and MMO South Coast plan development. The key outputs from this project and their policy relevance are summarised in the tables on the next page.

Based on fishing activity day records, over 98% of trawling by vessels under 15 m length will involve towing gear over the seabed. Reductions in data recordings were observed and consideration should be given to how such data will be obtained in future. iVMS could be a solution, but only if rolled out to all vessels.

The Lyme Bay case study provided quantitative evidence on the effects of the towed gear closure on local fishing activities. Static gear effort increased inside the closed area, but also in the wider surrounding area. A slight increase (displacement effect) in mobile gear effort was seen immediately outside the site, but decreased to reduced levels over time. Displacement of inshore activities is therefore not a simple redistribution of effort across the wider area.

  • Annotated Bibliography of Fishing Impacts on Habitat - September 2003 Update
    ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF FISHING IMPACTS ON HABITAT - SEPTEMBER 2003 UPDATE Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission SEPTEMBER 2003 GSMFC No.: 115 Annotated Bibliography of Fishing Impacts on Habitat - September 2003 Update Edited by Jeffrey K. Rester Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission September 2003 Introduction This is the third in a series of updates to the Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission’s Annotated Bibliography of Fishing Impacts on Habitat originally produced in February 2000. The Commission’s Habitat Subcommittee felt that the gathering of pertinent literature should continue. The third update contains 52 new articles since the publication of the last update. The update uses the same criteria that the original bibliography and first and second updates used to compile articles. It attempts to compile a listing of papers and reports that address the many effects and impacts that fishing can have on habitat and the marine environment. The bibliography is not limited to scientific literature only. It includes technical reports, state and federal agency reports, college theses, conference and meeting proceedings, popular articles, and other forms of nonscientific literature. This was done in an attempt to gather as much information on fishing impacts as possible. Researchers will be able to decide for themselves whether they feel the included information is valuable. Fishing, both recreational and commercial, can have many varying impacts on habitat and the marine environment. Whether a fisher prop scars seagrass, drops an anchor on a coral reef, or drags a trawl across the bottom, each act can alter habitat and affect fish populations.

  • “In Remembrance of Susan Manning”: James Chandler, Franke
    “In Remembrance of Susan Manning”: James Chandler, Franke Institute for the Humanities, University of Chicago Annual Meeting of the Consortium of Humanities Centers and Institutes Hall Center for the Humanities, University of Kansas April 2013 Diminutive as she was in physical stature, Susan Manning was in all other respects a truly great woman. She was both dignified and unpretentious. At once smart and learned and wise. Tremendously energetic, even in the face of serious debility. Her presence graced any gathering she joined and elevated any enterprise to which she lent her great gifts. This enterprise, CHCI, was lucky enough to have her on its advisory board for most of the last seven year of her truncated life. She was a wonderful presence in our midst: imaginative, steady, principled, humane, and thoughtful. To know Susan was to admire her. To know her well was to aspire to be her friend. To know her work, on the page and in the many institutions she tirelessly served, was to recognize intellectual and academic virtue of the highest order. Our loss is enormous, commensurate with her greatness, and we feel it with special keenness here today. The passing of great women and men leaves us with a large hole in our lives, but their own lives make for extraordinary reading after they are gone. I’ve read several obituaries about Susan since her death, and I learned much about her that I hadn’t known. I knew that she was born in Scotland and moved to the suburbs of Oxford when she was about nine years old.

  • Bathing Water Profile for Eyemouth
    Bathing Water Profile for Eyemouth Eyemouth, Scotland __________________ Current water classification https://www2.sepa.org.uk/BathingWaters/Classifications.aspx Today’s water quality forecast http://apps.sepa.org.uk/bathingwaters/Predictions.aspx _____________ Description The bathing water is situated next to Eyemouth town in the Scottish Borders. It is a small, shallow sandy bay of about 0.3 km in length. The beach is popular with families during the summer months. During high and low tides the approximate distance to the water’s edge can vary from 0–100 metres. For local tide information see: http://easytide.ukho.gov.uk/EasyTide/index.aspx Site details Local authority Scottish Borders Council Year of designation 1999 Water sampling NT 94463 64524 location EC bathing water ID UKS7616022 Catchment description A catchment area of 120 km2 drains into Eyemouth bathing water. The main rivers in the bathing water catchment are the Eye Water, Ale Water, Horn Burn and the North Burn. Agriculture is the major land use in the catchment. The upland areas are almost exclusively livestock rearing areas whereas the lower parts of the catchment include more arable farming. The catchment includes the urban area of Eyemouth town. Average summer rainfall for the region is 296 mm compared to 331 mm across Scotland as a whole. Risks to water quality This bathing water is subject to short term pollution when heavy rainfall washes bacteria into the sea. Pollution risks include agricultural run-off and combined sewer overflows. These are highlighted on Map 1. There is a risk that water pollution may occur after heavy rainfall.

Let me recap. Along with a small group of like-minded conservationists and underwa- ter photographers, we were working under a special per- mit issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries on the Island of Dominica (pronounced DOMINEEKA) to try and iden- tify returning sperm whales and other cetaceans. Dominica is the youngest of the Caribbean islands and is flanked by Guadeloupe to the north and Martinique to the south, which are both French colonies. Inevitably, many of the locals speak a derivative of a French, Carib and West African creole known as Kwéyòl. Ancestors of the original Carib Indians, the Kalinago still live by traditional fishing and farming methods and are rather distinc- tive in appearance, resembling South American Amazon tribes and are much shorter in stature. The Kalinago name for the island is Wai’tukubuli. The local beer is called Kubuli! Extremely mountainous in aspect, two of the peaks are over 1,300 metres (4,500ft).
