It is updated every year and is available for viewing and download on the EMODnet web portal (Human Activities, https://emodnet.ec.europa.eu/en/human-activities). This dataset is a subset of the data provided by EU Member States in the context of the DCF (Data Collection Framework) data call collecting Fisheries Dependent Information (FDI). The data provided by Member States during the 2025 FDI data call were analyzed by the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) Expert Working Group 25-10. European Commission, Joint Research Centre (2026): 2025 - Fisheries effort, landings, catches, capacity, biological data up to 2024. [Dataset] doi: 10.2905/JRC.KJFN63G; 10.2905/bf5c5f9a-87d6-4470-a380-458347b7813a PID: http://data.europa.eu/89h/bf5c5f9a-87d6-4470-a380-458347b7813a. Aggregated STECF data have been related to georeferenced European FAO's fishing statistical areas (27, 34 and 37, at all levels) and to Geographical subareas (GSAs) of the FAO's General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM). Effort data are provided at country level, for this reason confidential data are not shown. When available or not confidential, data on total days a sea, total fishing days, total kW days at sea, total GT days at sea, total kW fishing days, total GT fishing days, hours at sea, kW hours at sea, and GT hours at sea are provided for each FAO fishing statistical area and GSA by year of reference, Country, fishing technology and vessel length classes. With this update the dataset covers now a time series from 2013 to 2024.

The portal makes available information such as geographical position, spatial extent of a series of activities related to the sea, their temporal variation, time when data was provided, and attributes to indicate the intensity of each activity. The data are aggregated and presented so as to preserve personal privacy and commercially-sensitive information. The data also include a time interval so that historic as well as current activities can be included. https://ows.emodnet-humanactivities.eu/geonetwork/srv/api/records/26ec2eba-6252-467d-aad7-24d40886a5a5/attachments/EMODnet_HA_Fisheries_FishingEffort_20260511.zip WWW:DOWNLOAD EMODnet_HA_Fisheries_FishingEffort_20260511.zip ZIP (File Geodatabase / Shapefile) https://ows.emodnet-humanactivities.eu/wms?
