14.4.10 UK Fishing Activity – Overview
126. Figure 14.33 shows the extent of UK fishing activity (all gear types) by vessels over-15m as recorded by VMS (value). The highest value areas are located off the West of Scotland (ICES sub-area VIa), in the Irish Sea (sub-area VIIa), Celtic Sea (sub- areas VIIf, VIIg, VIIh), English Channel (VIIe, VIId) and central North Sea (sub-area IVb). The area of the southern North Sea (sub-area IVc) in which the proposed East Anglia THREE project is situated exhibits lower values than all other areas in UK waters. As previously highlighted, however, VMS datasets describe activity for the over-15m fleet only and will therefore under represent total fishing activity.
127. Surveillance sightings of UK vessels identified by method are given in Figure 14.34. The principal gear types8 employed by UK registered vessels within the vicinity of the proposed East Anglia THREE project are as follows:
8 Note that although scallop dredgers have been recorded during surveillance operations these are likely to be vessels steaming to and from ports outside East Anglia to grounds located in the English Channel. At the time of writing there are no known scallop grounds in the vicinity of the proposed East Anglia THREE project.
