project_24866 - Mapping Sea Anglers in English Waters

Sea angling is a major pastime around English coastal waters however the specific spatial information needs improving. This project will create a national dataset showing the most important sites used in sea angling in English waters. This will improve the delivery of marine plan policies relating to recreational and commercial sea angling and their consideration alongside other uses of space in marine plan areas. Spatial information on sea angling will also assist the MMO and IFCAs in managing potential impacts on Marine Protected Areas.
