| Summary: | The Working Group on Spatial Fisheries Data (WGSFD) collates and analyses spatial fisheries data in order to evaluate fishing effort, intensity, and frequency in European waters. The group was updated on several Vessel Monitoring Systems (VMS), Automatic Identification System (AIS) and Logbook related projects which are ongoing at national labs, including presentations on the use of spatial data from electronic monitoring systems to investigate behavioural changes of fishers in response to management measures, estimation of “effort” in small scale fisheries, and from the other groups which have linkages to WGSFD. Prior to the meeting, ICES had issued a data call for aggregated VMS and logbook data for the years 2009–2020. At the request of the North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC), members of WGSFD produced and analysed maps of fishing activity in NEAFC regulatory areas, with a particular emphasis on fisheries around the Josephine Seamount, using the VMS and catch information provided by NEAFC.
