For the purpose of this study, commercial fishing is defined as CHAPTER any legal fishing activity undertaken for declared taxable profit. 5.1.1.2 The following technical appendices support this chapter and can be found as: Technical Appendix 4.3 B (Salmon and Sea Trout Ecology Technical Report). Technical Appendix 5.1 A (Commercial Fisheries Technical Report). 5.1.1.3 For the purposes of this assessment, salmon and sea trout fisheries in the Moray Firth are separately addressed to other commercial fisheries, as a result of their being located largely in-river (with the exception of some coastal netting) and being different in nature to the majority of marine commercial fishing activities. In addition, due to the migratory behaviour of salmon and sea trout, fisheries have been assessed for all rivers flowing into the Moray Firth. It is also recognised that salmon is a qualifying feature or primary reason for Special Area of Conservation (SAC) site selection of the following rivers in the Moray Firth: Berriedale and Langwell Waters SAC (primary reason); River Moriston

    Fife Coast Usage and Impact Study 2016

    FIFE COAST USAGE & IMPACT STUDY The Fife Coast area is a one-mile wide strip of land along the coast from Kincardine in the South to Newburgh in the North. The Fife Coastal Path along with many beaches and picturesque towns and village are all located in this area. LJ Research and The Glamis Consultancy were commissioned by Fife Coast & Countryside Trust (FCCT) to evaluate the use and impact of the Fife Coast area in 2015. A range of separate studies were undertaken to inform the project. These included visitor counting and undertaking a visitor survey at 37 locations on the Fife Coast. In addition, surveys among local tourism businesses and Scotland residents were undertaken to better understand the importance of the area. Set out below is a visual summary of the key findings from these four elements of the study with comparisons against results of a similar study undertaken in 2006/7.
