Introduction 1.1.1 This report presents an overview of the recreational sea fishing of relevance to the Triton Knoll Electrical System. This activity is an importance social and economic activity that may interact with the development of renewable energy at the Triton Knoll offshore wind farm, particularly in respect to the electrical system. This report outlines the type and nature of recreational sea angling activity carried out in the area of the development, both inshore and offshore. In addition, key target species are identified along with optimal fishing periods and locations. 1.1.2 The Drew study (DEFRA, 2004) identified that 5.02% of the population participate in leisure fishing, whilst Defra (2013) estimated there to be 884,000 sea anglers in England with 2% of all adults participating in sea angling. Recreational rod and line fishing along the coast and within estuaries can be of significant value to coastal communities, producing large scale socio-economic benefits. The Sea Angling 2012 study carried out by the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (CEFAS) in conjunction with the Marine Management Organisation (MMO), and on behalf of the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), estimated that the direct annual value of the recreational sea angling (RSA) sector in 2012 was approximately £831million. The study also found that the RSA sector supported 10,400 full-time equivalent jobs and when indirect and induced effects were taken into account, sea angling activity produced £2.1billion of total spending and to varying degrees supported over 23,600 jobs (Armstrong et al, 2013). 1.1.3 Not only does recreational sea angling provide employment within many communities, this activity also instils an outdoor, relaxing, healthy and active lifestyle that offers social and well-being benefits. Armstrong et al (2013) states that “anglers felt that improving fish stocks was the most important factor that would increase participation in sea angling”. 1.1.4 Pitcher and Hollingsworth (2002) described recreational anglers as individuals who fish for sport and leisure, whilst if applicable catching for personal consumption. There are very few limitations and or restrictions on RSA, although anglers must comply with minimum landing sizes (MLS), abide by fishing restraints in nursery areas and other locally enforced byelaws implemented by national and EU regulations. There are no requirements to purchase a licence to fish for Seafish within the marine environment and the tidal boundaries of transitional waters, which is a legal requirement in many other European countries. However, a rod licence is a legal requirement for fishing in freshwaters i.e. rivers, canals and lakes and which must be purchased from the Environment Agency, any angler wishing to fish for Salmonid species e.g. salmon Salmo salar and sea trout Salmo trutta in the sea, must apply to the Environment Agency for a salmon licence, however, there is little or no targeted activity for salmonids in the local study area. 1.1.5 There are two principal forms of recreational fishing activity; 4 Recreational Fisheries Technical Report RWE Innogy Unlicensed commercial/recreational activity, which may consist of gill netting, potting, long lining and seine netting, the latter being mainly carried out from the beach. Recreational shell fishermen are restricted to fishing a maximum of 10 pots per day, in which no more than 10 crabs and 2 lobsters may be landed, whilst recreational fishermen engaged in fin-fishing activity are restricted to 100 metres of gill net. Recreational sea angling, which consists of traditional rod and line fishing from either the shore or boat based activity. The majority of recreational activity occurs inshore and within the 6 mile limit, however it is recognised that recreational anglers using privately owned vessels are likely to also fish within the Humber Estuary and the Humber Approaches, particularly during the winter. 2. Recreational Sea Fishing 2.1.1 Consultation undertaken with commercial and recreational fishermen indicates that there are negligible levels of unlicensed commercial/recreational fishing activity along the Lincolnshire coast. This unlicensed activity does not cover fishing using a rod and line, but encompasses fishing using nets, pots, hooks and other commercial fishing gears from a vessel that does not hold a commercial fishing licence or permit. The following section concentrates on the extent and nature of RSA in the local study area, which is defined by the ICES rectangle 35FO and sub-rectangles 03, 06 & 09 of ICES rectangle 36F0 (Figure 1). 2.2 Recreational Sea Angling in the Study Area 2.2.1 Recreational sea angling using a rod and line can be separated into two distinct forms, shore fishing and boat fishing with levels of activity dependent on the seasonality and availability of target species. Shore Based Sea Angling 2.2.2 Shore fishing throughout the regional study area occurs principally from beaches, although some activity may take place on piers, harbour walls and the river bank i.e. the Greater Ouse and Humber estuary. The majority of participants engaged in RSA from the shore, are adults with a wide range of experience, from novices to highly experienced international anglers. The composition of anglers also includes youth

  • Detailed Assessment for Benzene in the Scunthorpe and Killingholme Areas
    Executive Summary This Detailed Assessment was submitted to Defra in three separate sections due to the need to monitor for lead, the section on 1,3 Butadiene was submitted on the 18th April 2007, the Nitrogen Dioxide section on 9th May 2007 and the lead report was submitted on 23rd July 2007. The separate reports have now been merged into a single document. 1,3 Butadiene The two refineries in Killingholme reported a significant increase in their 1,3 Butadiene emissions in 2004 and 2005 compared to previous years as a result of a change in the reporting methodology. Consequently the Updating and Screening Assessment report (2006) concluded that North Lincolnshire Council should proceed to a detailed assessment for 1,3 Butadiene. However, it was decided that a further scaling exercise would be carried out to determine whether any detailed modelling or monitoring are necessary, to achieve this results from a Benzene diffusion tube survey that North Lincolnshire Council carried out in 2004 and the Benzene emissions from the two refineries were used in a scaling exercise. With this data three scenarios were considered, 1. A worst-case scenario based on the highest monthly Benzene concentration measured at an installation boundary, 2. A worst-case scenario based on the highest monthly Benzene concentration measured at a sensitive receptor. The first and second scenarios also assumed all the Benzene originated from the refineries. 3. A realistic receptor scenario using the highest annual mean concentration at a sensitive receptor but taking account of the background concentration. The calculations showed that even in the worst-case scenario the concentration of 1,3 Butadiene would be equivalent to 51.7% of the Air Quality Objective.

  • 18 HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT 18.1 18.1.1 This Chapter Provides A
    18 HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT 18.1 INTRODUCTION 18.1.1 This chapter provides a summary of information relating to the historic environment of that part of the Humber Estuary and its hinterland that will be affected by the development of the Marine Energy Park. The term “historic environment” has been defined in Planning Policy Statement 5 as ‘All aspects of the environment resulting from the interaction between people and places through time, including all surviving physical remains of past human activity, whether visible, buried or submerged, and landscaped and planted or managed flora. Those elements of the historic environment that hold significance are called heritage assets’. 18.1.2 In practice, the scope of the historic environment (heritage assets) includes archaeological sites, wrecks, buildings, battlefields, parks and gardens, hedgerows and palaeo-environmental deposits. Many of these sites (or groups of them) that are recognised as being of national (or international) importance are “designated”; such as World Heritage Sites, protected wrecks, military remains, scheduled monuments, listed buildings, conservation areas, registered parks and gardens and registered battlefields. Other heritage assets may have significance at a national level, but are not designated. Important hedgerows, as defined under the Hedgerow Regulations, are not considered to be designated heritage assets. 18.1.3 Designated assets, and other assets of high significance, are generally protected from development that would materially affect their physical survival or setting. Where there are overriding reasons why development may remove or affect heritage assets of significance then appropriate means of mitigating the adverse effects are required. 18.1.4 This chapter addresses the issue of terrestrial and marine archaeology and details the approach to assessing the impacts of the proposed development on terrestrial and marine archaeological resources.
