EMODnet EMODnet Human Activities: Fishing effort by FAO statistical area and GFCM area
The database on fishing effort in the EU waters was created in 2020 by Cogea for the European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet). It is the result of the elaboration of the Economic and Transversal data (19-06 - AER, Version 1.2) of the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) of the EU Commission (JRC). STECF data have been related to georeferenced FAO's fishing statistical areas and to Geographical subareas (GSAs) of the FAO's General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM). Days at sea, Fishing days, GT fishing days, kW fishing days data are provided for each available FAO fishing statistical area and GSA, by year of reference, Country, fishing technology, vessel length classes, supra region and geographical indicator. The dataset is updated yearly, as soon as new data from STECF are released. It covers a time series from 2008 to 2018.

- Statement
-
STECF data on fishing effort were aggregated by FAO statistical area, at all levels, and by GFCM areas and then related to FAO statistical areas and to GFCM GSASs features in a geodatabase using a one-to-many relationship class. All information is pre-validated by STECF and FAO. The GFCm GSA11.1 and GSA11.2 have been merged into an additional area, the GSA11. The complete dataset is available also in excel and shapefile formats.
