mainly from beam trawlers targeting sole. Beam trawler landings values recorded within the windfarm analysis area are subject to annual variations and reached a peak in 2008 with €1,407,860, as indicated in Diagram 14.3. Landings values by beam trawlers have shown a decline over the five years period (2005-2010) within the inshore cable analysis area whereas these have increased in the offshore cable analysis area, as indicated in Diagram 14.4 and Diagram 14.5, respectively. Although the values recorded by the demersal otter trawl fleet are significantly lower, there is a general pattern of increase from 2005 to 2010. This is likely to be a result of beam trawlers converting to demersal otter trawl gear in response to increasing fuel prices and in order to allow them historic rights between 6 and 12nm limits. A detailed description of annual variations by method and by species for each analysis area on an annual basis from 2001 to 2010 is provided in the Appendix 14.1.
